normally i don't read these emails but as it was about copa i thought i'd
have a ganda, and after reading the first three lines i couldn't quite
believe what i was hearing! and so felt compelled to read on and got more
and more annoyed and frankly pis$ed off at your points that i feel are
completely unfoundered.
first off three days of ultimate is never too much, and the health risks
(if you play properly), are no greater than playing a weekend tournament.
as for your sun burn then i feel this is your own fault, as every person
with any sense who is gonna be outside all day will obviously wear sun
cream and other protection. also your point about achy muscles, this is
what a warm up and warm down is called, anyone who warms up and dowm
properly should be fine. and if you are feeling the strain of the three day
tourny then the obvious answer is to hold back on your playing or stop for
that tourny. Also i feel compelled to point out that you chose to play the
three days you could have left on the sunday an only played for the
weekend, no where does it say that you have to stay for the whole three
days! i would like to make the point that i played for the whole three
days, and experienced no problems, and then played at nationals this
weekend which i know a lot of other people also did and had no problems
with playin .!!!
and if you say this about this three day toruny what about the teams who
are going to be playing in worlds in perth in australia in november for a
week, where i am guessing that at this time fo year it will be hot and
sunny, i don;t think they will really be complaining about there being too
much ultimate.
if you felt that your 'graze' was as serious as you obviously feel it is
then i am sure there was someone on the site somewhere who could have given
you medical attention to sort it out!
as for your points about the socials. Copa is renowned for the social side
of it as well as the ultimate side of it. at no point in the captains pack
did it say that you had to stay up or even participate in the socials, and
you could join or leave at any pointthat you wanted. as for the consumption
of alcohol, by the very style of the tourny this is a fun one, and as we
are all adults over the age of 18 it is our own descression how much or how
little we drink, not for anyone to tell us, for some of us this tourny is a
almost a holiday and break from the norm of everyday routine so its nice to
have a laugh and let our hair down.
Also being murdered in our beds?!!! bolloks! i'm sorry but, that is highly
unlikely first off it would be pretty stupid for someone to target an area
so full of people, secondly we weren't really in the area for 'gang
shooting' now were we? so in my opinion that was a redickulous claim to
make.! not to forget security man with dog was onsite
as for your claims about kit, while in tour and naionals there are clear
rules about this and the penalities for not doing this, there are no such
rues layed out anywhere for the copa, which i emphasise is a FUN
tournament, and its ok for people to play in hawaien shorts if they want as
long as both teams are happy that they can clearly distinguish between each
other, its not exactly rocket science to make sure one team is darks and
one lights now is it?? seriously!
and about the dogs, fair point but if someone was allergic we are outside
and they can tell the owners that they were and to avoid them we were on a
really big field, and as far as i am aware there were no problems whats so
ever, and the dogs were fantastically well behaved being around so many
strangers for the whole weekend!.
i feel that if this is what you fell you should say, then i hope you won't
be going to copa next year because it obviously isn't the tournament for
you, and you obviously feel that if you can't enjoy it then no one else
should!
i am sorry if you object to my points but i find the ones you made
unjustified and down right rude and insulting to the people who have put so
much hard work in organising the copa every aspect from the horrendous time
in organising scehdules for so many teams to the fabulous social ideas and
socials, amazing food on tap an sumo was awsome!
i would like to add my thanks to the team that made copa this year better
than it was last year it was truely awsome! and i really enjoyed it, i
loved the three days and i genuinley look forward to this tourny all year,
and rave about it to all our freshers as the tourny to go to, so thanx
again to tom, steve, dene and flight club an everyone else, you guys are
awsome. !
can't wait for next year!
