On a random note, we will be (hopefully) be implementing a reporting system at Nationals whereby EACH team texts in their score after EACH game. We would also like a spirit score out of 10 for to be done at the same time. If (and the if is a big one) each team did this, it would make life a lot easier for those running the tournament and would give a proper representation of spirit at the presentation. The biggest problems I had at Tour 1 were getting scores in, people forgetting/disagreeing on scores, and spirit. If both teams texted immediately after the game we'd have (you'd hope) two matching scorelines and a spirit score for both team logged immediately. Then we can update the pools as the day goes on and at the presentation we'd have a really accurate sprit trophy to award. At tour 1 I ran around like a fool for nearly 2 hours and probably got 40% of the spirit scores in. Which is a shame as it would be nice to get all of them in, if possible. I am pretty sure one person on your team will get free texts. Failing that, take turns to text the score in and split that 60p phone bill between you! It would make things run a lot more smoothly. If we use the same UKUA phone each time (all conjecture on my part) then people could use this system (if it works) at each UKUA event. Seems a bit archaic all this running around and shouting at people in the dinner queue for missing scores. Just an idea like. Berry7. All my own views. No one else has typed any of this message. Honest.

While I think that in principle that it is a good idea to release information like this i feel that a more accurate medium should be used to determine this. For example a system we tried to implement last year was a score out of ten for EVERY team you played. 5 being an average game with nothing bad and nothing amazingly good in it. deducting points for aggressive behaviour or a bad unresolved call, plus points given for good discussion of a call, and generally spirited behaviour. The problems with the format is getting people to give in their spirit scores. from a TD prospective it gets really confusing as any team that does not submit a spirit vote CANT win spirit... some teams have therefore won by default... is this a true reflection of spirit??? A 3-2-1 score does not give an accurate account. Just my ramblings as DOC Hannah --------------------------------- Yahoo! Answers - Get better answers from someone who knows.
