The schedule is now written, based on 28 teams. We currently have 27 teams
entered but are waiting to hear if Discy Business are going to get a team
in. If not, OAPs (coaches and any overage players) will be entering a team
to make up the numbers, but lose every game by default.

There is no captain's meeting but you should send someone to Vaughnie
between 09:00 and 09:15 (assuming you are there because you have an early
game) to pick up your copies of the schedule. First games start at 9:30 on
the Saturday and 9am on the Sunday. Last games will finish at 17:30 both
days. These are the start times for individual teams...

09:30 Arctic 1, Airbadgers 2, Ocelots 1, Arctic 2, Airbadgers 1, Calday 2
09:50 Catch Those, Ocelots 2, Evolution 1, Rhinos 2, Flux 1, Arctic 3
10:10 Evolution 2, Flux 2, Calday 3, Arctic 5, Ocelots 3, Arctic 6
10:30 NC Hammer, Jesus loves Spartans, Rhinos 1, Airbadgers 3, Arctic 4,
OAPs
11:30 Strangers, Candy, 6FFU
11:50 Calday 1

The one change could be if Discy Business enter, they would take the place
of Calday 1 to give them the latest start time, and Calday 1 would replace
OAPs..

For reference, most teams will play 5 games of 18 minutes each day. However,
Flux 2, Arctic 5 and Arctic 6 (and OAPs) will play 6 games on the Saturday
and 4 on the Sunday. The format is 4 pools of 7 (with one game, possibly
your most important, being held over until Sunday morning). Top 4 teams from
each pool go into the knockout tournament while the bottom 2 of each pool
play off to leave 4 teams playing round robin in positions 25-28. That
leaves 8 teams to play knockout for 17-24. Trophies will be awarded for 1st,
2nd, 3rd, 9th, 17th and 25th, along with spirit. The trophies have been
ordered but won't arrive until after the tournament so don't be surprised if
the trophies initially look like boxes of celebrations, and the real
trophies being posted out a few days later. Teams will be asked on Sunday to
vote for their 3 votes for spirit (3, 2 and 1 points). Much as we love the
complicated new spirit system, we're sticking to something simple for
indoors.

There are 3 halls in use all weekend with a 4th hall available at times for
players to throw around in. Lookfly will be there on Sunday with their stall
of merchandise, bring some money!

I think that's about it. If there are any problems with the schedule/start
times, please email me. Anything else, talk to Vaughnie. I haven't included
a list of the seedings as any changes now would affect the start times, but
if you really want to know more because you feel your team is seeded at
least 10 places out from where you should be, then email me.

Kevin (on behalf of Vaughnie).
