After having reviewed the results of the tour this year I was wondering if the UKU were going to implement the same rules for Tour0 next year as they did this year.
In 2007 all teams outside the top4 (based on Nationals 2006) were made to qualify via the Tour0 route. This was because of "fluctuations" between finishing positions between 5-8 deemed it viable to include the fifth place team. This season has seen the top 5 positions held only by 5 teams with Leeds taking 5th in every tour and unlucky not to take higher. Also fluctuations between the 6-9 spots has also been reduced (with Discuits filling one of those spots every time). The question I want to raise is that next year shouldn't tour 0 be compulsory for teams outside the top 8 based on final tour rankings?

Although in 1997, Tour 4 (of 5) at Southampton was abandoned due to lightning on Sunday afternoon before the final positioning games could be played. Women's results to follow shortly...
