For
the UK, why don't we have a play-off between the winners of all the Winter
Leagues, and then put the top one or two teams from that into the Champions
League each year? It would give 'all' teams something to aim for in the Winter,
as well as the Summer. It could also go someway to
Title: RE: [BD] Re: Reasons for not voting
I don't think that is what Finn was getting at. If we only voted for our mates, then that would be crap.
What I think he was trying to get at is that the Ultimate community, while small enough to try to encompass everyone's views, is also big
Seeing as there was a little bit of a minor discussion regarding Indoor bids
recently (which everyone hates anyway), I wondered if anyone had looked on
the UKU site and noticed that we only have 2.5 Tours at the moment, which
means only 2 events for non-Top 16 teams. This comes after a deadline
to regular
practices in Birmingham or Stourbridge, and is willing to committ to the
club. If you are interested, then please email me at

Hi there,
Last weekend saw the 3rd outing of the Great Barr Crawl indoor tournament in
sunny Birmingham. There was a big improvement in the level of play from the
previous years, and possibly the smallest social in Ultimate with only a
maximum of about 20 people. Despite that, everyone had a lot
Hi there,
I thought that I would share something with you all briefly. I have found a
good internet site supplying First Aid supplies, ice packs, etc specifically
for sports teams called http://www.firstaid4sport.co.uk/. I ordered some
stuff through there last week, and got it delivered within 3
Well that's alright, can't we all just ignore the deadline again like at
Tour 1? That way everyone is happy, and no-one ever bothers with a deadline
for any tournament. It isn't as if we are always talking about raising the
professional-ness of the sport or anything :-)

Especially as the B Tour always gets stuck on the worst pitches as well,
where injuries are more likely/frequent.
(This is not a specific criticism of the excellent organisation of Tour 2,
as they were a victim of circumstances. )

I would like to apologise on behalf of the relevant player and UTB for
breaking the rules at Tour 2. I was gutted in Eastbourne when I realised
that one of our players hadn't bothered to sort it out, and I am not here to
try and argue our case. It was not our intention to try

Thanks again for coming along to MWL 2. I hope you all enjoyed yourself in
the mud. I won't waffle on too much, but the results were as follows:

significantly short of teams to make the tournament worthwhile at the
moment. (Got about 6-8 teams so far)

Whilst I agree that this imbalance is not ideal, I think it has been discussed

around at each event this year. The facts are

Hi,
Those dates were exactly what I was thinking of. The only thing that has
changed them in the past is whether the venues are available on the
Saturdays or the Sundays.

local regions, but I had my whinge about that last

We just need players to give a s*t.
While we are on this particular subject, would it really be that much of
a problem for people to clear up their rubbish by the sides of the
pitches after they have finished a match? You obviously were able to

I guess that the main argument against that is that there are a lot of

.B tour results anyone? Seeing as teams were supposed to have
entered for nationals by yesterday, and the top 32 rankings can't even
be worked out yet?
As far as I can gather from speaking to friends, it was along the lines

35 GB Juniors 2 66points
36 Sheffield 2 65 points.
And I got a couple of other totals wrong by a point in the B tour
region, but positions were ok.
