Some quick points about Mixed Nationals:
Rule 1.B.1 from the UKUA Mixed Tour Rules states, "The format for
Mixed Nationals will give an equal chance to every
team entering the tournament." I am wondering if forcing teams 11-22
to play an extra play-in game, and then having them play their round
of 16 game an hour or so later is really an "equal chance"?
The easiest remedy for this would have been to push back the round of
16 games until after lunch to allow teams that played early games a
proper recovery period. I'll concede that the higher seeded teams
have earned a bye, but a little rest seems fair for the teams in the teens.
Also, I think the strict rules about camping are a small price to pay
for using a fabulous facility with easy access by all modes of
transport. And the rules make sense if you run a University sports ground.
Overall, a first-class tournament. Congrats, Andy and the rest of the
organizers!
