All,
The top 16 open teams, and all the women's teams, will be at the
Wimbledon venue for tour 1. The remaining 40 teams will be at Chiswick.
We have a top 16 in mind. There are technically 2 foreign teams, though
one of these is the Irish and Dublin had a top-16 tour ranking last year
anyway - so they won't bump anybody. The Germans will cause one team who
might have believed they were A tour to drop down.
We could put 20 teams into A-tour to avoid anyone missing out, but we
discovered last year that there is no satisfactory solution to
promotion/relegation at later tours, and it would be a mistake to give
ourselves the same problems again.
No new teams are sufficiently strong to warrant an A-tour place. So last
year's top 15 are pencilled in. If someone around that bracket wishes to
put a case for why they should (or indeed should not) be in the A tour,
please get in touch in the next 24 hours. We'd like to confirm which
teams will be where ASAP so that they can finalise travel and such like,
so this is your last chance.
Cheers,
Benji
