Re point 2. You only went to two parties. Shame on you. There was
a party on the friday aswell.

Dear Britdisc,
in light of recent observations re: tournaments and their running,
I feel compelled to voice my disapproval of certain aspects of Copa
Cabana 2006.
1. Three days is clearly too much ultimate. I mean yes, it was fun,
but think of the health risks. Personally I got sun burnt, achy
muscles (which could easily have become something much more serious
and possibly fatal), and picked up a nasty graze on monday which
really stings in the shower and while my wife tells me it isn't
much to look at (the graze that is), it could easily have been
avoided if I was at work sitting in front of a computer. Please be
aware that my lawyers have been contacted.
2. Despite recent government advice regarding binge drinking, the
tournament directors felt obliged to lay on two successive socials,
where they wantonly and negligently allowed people to 'have fun',
thereby potentially bringing about an alcohol consumption above
that which the government recommends. In fact, I am all too
painfully aware of two of my team mates returning from the party at
eight thirty in the morning, and then attempting to play a game of
Ultimate. The TDs should have done the correct thing and made sure
everybody was in bed by ten o'clock, possibly with a nice mug of
bovril, which I find helps me sleep something wonderful.
3. The tournament was held in Nottingham. We could all have been
murdered in our beds. For shame!
4. Some of the teams were quite flagrantly ignoring the rules
regarding matching kits and shorts.
5. I've run out of points, but this won't stop me moaning. If I've
learnt anything from Britdisc in recent months, it's that you can't
take yourself, a tournament, or Ultimate frisbee too seriously. In
fact, there is nothing sweeter than returning from a tournament and
bitching about every little aspect of it.
6. There were at least three dogs present at the weekend, what if
someone had been allergic?
I hope that the tournament directors will bear my concerns in mind
for next year's event.
Dan
Hucking Hell (for that weekend only)
