Hi All First of all I'd like to agree with everyone's thoughts so far, MT1 was a great tournament. Sun, shelter, water, first aid, food and pitches all present so great work! It was a fantastic weekend and I'm sure most people will agree. I just hope as TD of the next event I can live up to the standards that Ali and the Brighton team have set. Secondly I'm not quite sure where the limit for MT2 has come from but fortunately for the Ultimate Community 32 will not be the maximum amount of teams entering MT2. Felix is currently looking at the schedule, but with at least the same amount of pitches and also more time available there will be at least 40 teams able to enter. On that note make sure you get your cheques in before Friday to make sure you've got a chance to enter. I'll be putting out an update later to confirm who I have had payments from.
