A long britdisc discussion has been going on but I feel many of you have missed the real costs and impact.
Tournament fees are a small part of the cost of attending a tournament. Typically the larger costs are travel, accommodation and (sometimes) time off work. If cheap tournaments with no accommodation provided were held the 'far ends' of the country they may prove to be less welll attended than an 'expensive' tournament with free camping in a 'central' location. Also, I believe, the total cost of events does deter participation. The travel and accommodation costs involved can mean that the team may still go but some players will not. This means that squad sizes may be smaller and some clubs can only field one squad rather than two. Wayne PS. Good luck to Adam and the other Tour organisers - I hope you all make enough money to encourage you to bid again next year. __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/informed.asp
