Bidding process will be in two stages: By end of Sept please ensure you have emailed with an outline of which tournament(s) you are bidding for, together with some basic information regarding the bid: # of fields, location, specific venue comments, planned price, anything else that seems important. This should enable bidders to apply this month without having to finalise all the details. It is also intended to make sure people who don't win a tournament don't have to invest more time/money than is necessary.
During October we will discuss further details / ask more questions / maybe visit the venue with a view to making final decisions by end October. We would like to make bidders aware of the fact that in recent months we have been approached by more than one professional events company that are interested in running ultimate events and will be bidding for UKU tournaments next year. Not surprisingly organisations like this are keen to run more than one event. We have come to the conclusion that if it helps improve the quality of our events - taking cost into account of course - we will not discount this approach.
