ok

the tournie isnt going to cost £20 anymore.

but i still think the tournement itself is very useful. and should be done
alongside the clinics and entering winter league. We need to get our open
teams out playing against each other. it is another way to learn...and test
things out.

its a shame this has kicked off but i guess it only has done because money
is an issue.

i spend all my money on ulti and saw £20 per team as not a lot to pay. this
was what it was last year and a lot cheaper than your average shmindoor
tournie.

i want to run this tournement and would like to suggest the fee is reduced
to £10 and that is made free for teams entering for the first time. ie
Reading, Essex, Kingston.

Cheers Malcolm
