Hello everyone, I'm please to announce that we are going to attempt to run the cup competition I emailed about last year. I've not done the research; but this may well be the only cup competition available in this country so if your team is up for something a little bit different please sign up! Here is the low-down so far:
The Taunton Open This is to be a straight knock-out cup competition (FA cup style) but with a few changes to make it work for our sport. The starting team numbers will either be 16 or 32 (dependant on speed of response to this email). There is NO fee to enter the early rounds! That said you should plan to be available for the final weekend in Taunton (Somerset the home of cider) on the weekend of August 16-17 2008. There will be a charge at some point in the competition for teams which will be attending the finals weekend which will have a mini-tournament on the Saturday with party and camping for all teams attending. This will be followed by a slow start Sunday (so you could sleep in, go shopping, take a walk, go to church or do whatever you like). All teams will get free entry to the final on the Sunday afternoon which will hopefully be in a small rugby or football stadium. The final will be open to the public and will be a great event and most definitely good PR with at the very least local press coverage. Here is the important information, the rest will be provided if you sign up! How to Enter This competition is aimed at OPEN TEAMS! **If you are a student team, please register interest but I'm hoping to make up the numbers with the open teams** You may roster between 7 and 14 team members in your squad **these players are not permitted to change throughout the competition and the team fielded must be the named and numbered team** If you have not got a full 14 at the start you may roster between 7 and 13 and make up the numbers by a cut off date to be set Please email me your request to be involved and most importantly, please register at least ONE team member on the event on the UKUA website! If possible, please also sign up on the Facebook group as this will allow me to email out information efficiently. Ok, that is all the information I'm putting in this email; hope it has inspired you to help us make this happen rather than just boring you! Thanks for reading, Paul Wittle.
