Thort i mite as well put my 2 cents in. Fraid they aint as positive as manny was.
With most open teams playing in the high standard open tours and london winter league i doubt many will want to do battle against uni teams if they can set up a much more compitive open ladder league. Although i guess most uni teams would want to leave the uni ladder league system so they could play in the open ladder league.
also it may limit ladder league events to be held on weekends as no open teams will be able to make week day afternoons.
It could also discourage some uni players playing for there uni teams if they can play for there open team.
If think over the past year ladder league has brought our region together alot more. Without there wouldnt be as much intergration between teams and regionals. I reckon we should keep it that way, and with a region with over 20teams who needs any more competition.
My first thoughts on the subject go something like this:
"More teams=more competition"
Crucially, this will increase the amount of local competition for new teams (who might otherwise have to struggle to convince newer players to travel), which can only be a good thing.
I can't really see any downsides to the expansion of ladder league, but I haven't had any second thoughts really.
Enjoy the sunshine,

I'm agreeing with some of Shimmy's points I think. I think that if more teams were encorporated then it could make a weekend/weekday divide. Personally I...
Allowing for open team inclusion should create greater diversity in the league, and give those uni's seperated by distance some incentive to play their local...

For what it's worth I agree with Shim. I don't think there would be much of an uptake from open teams to play in ladder league with the well established LWL...
Just my two cents... as a UCL player who perhaps play more open ultimate than most Uni teams, it doesn't make much sense to me to allow open teams to play in...
... The LL concentrates on the Autumn and Spring terms, when all the open teams have are four LWL events. The LWL is changing rapidly and will soon limit...
I agree that there may be too much pressure on uni teams to play both weekends and weekdays but surely the only way to find out who is hardcore enough to take...
I would say that's a better idea, having different tables. There are a few things I'd like to clear up about the current rules though if this does take effect:...
Hey Pugh thanks for your well thought out comments. 1. Yep I've been considering this, but it is still a fact that plenty of uni teams have a non-university...
Can we not just have uni and open seperate? this way uni teams can still play open if they choose to. This might result in alot of the better uni first teams...
