There are in fact plenty of dates set aside for the Uni Regional/National tournaments, which don't have TDs yet because no bids have been received - sorting out the calendar a few months back was loads of work to try to please everyone, pestering people to get bids in is loads of work, sorting out the bids and requesting more info / announcing them is loads of work, putting all the info on the calendar I maintain on http://www.seultimate.org is a fair amount of work too... If anybody wants to volunteer a bit of time to add the prospective Uni dates into the UKUA calendar (Thrash?) then please just go ahead and do it...
For now I keep the calendar on seultimate.org as updated as possible, and as far as I know it's the most reliable source of dates (although it'd be better if the UKUA one was of course....)
