This year we had three bids to host the national junior indoors. After the success of last year with 24 teams competing indoors and 27 teams at the junior outdoors, it really looked like we would have to move to regional qualifiers this year. Two of the bids were to hold regional qualifiers (one in Manchester, the other in Plymouth) but the successful bid from Wolverhampton has 3, possible 4 halls available meaning that for this year at least, we can continue to have a single tournament for the national junior indoors. The date for the tournament will be February 28th and March 1st.
Additionally, the U17s national indoor championships have also been awarded to Wolverhampton and will be held on the weekend of March 21st/22nd. Anyone that played in the open qualifiers in November will know what excellent facilities there are at this incredibly central location. I'm sure Vaughnie will be announcing more details on the junior ultimate email group for both tournaments very shortly. If anyone on Britdisc is not on that group and wants to be kept informed of junior tournaments and developments, then email me or visit the junior's pages on the UKU web site for sign up details. So, many thanks to Scraggy and Chef for the hard work they put into their bids, and also to everyone on the junior forum who decided which bid would be successful. Good luck to Vaughnie and Arctic in running the tournaments.
