Yo! Something that hasn't been considered yet in this discussion is number of games per weekend. Just adding one more game means teams have to play another 90 minutes of ultimate in a weekend where they've probably had to play back to back somewhere too. There was a discussion a few years back about getting the amount we have to play right to keep the tournaments safer and freer from injury. Personally I think 6 hours of game time over a weekend is pretty much perfect (for me).
I'm fairly sure a tour system which allows 25th seeds to become 5th by tour 3 is incredibly fair, and would be a great achievment for the team in question. We do have a seeding tounament for the mixed tour - it's the previous years' tour! Do well the year before, and you'll find yourself seeded very reasonably. If you are a new team, then work hard and you'll seeding will reflect your ability over time. I think that the UKU organisers have put in masses of time and effort and have come up with the best solution to a 3 tour plus nationals format. They also do a great job of taking suggestions seriously - so if you've got a good idea then let them know! (the uku that is). laters tom __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://www.fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/staying-informed
