All,
Schedule is sorted. Here it is.
If anyone spots any problems with it, please contact me on li51jp@.... It's been a tough schedule to do and I hope you can all appreciate that when you have a gander.
You WILL have back-to-backs on the Saturday so PLEASE get yourselves clued up to where you need to be and when.
There is less moving around on the Sunday (by and large) but there is an outside chance of one team having 3 games in a row. This is unfortunate but unavoidable. I suggest you look at the schedule and aim to not be that team (ie 5th seed at 11am on Sunday). That may be callous but it's been a tough one I'm afraid.
Seeding.
Is by and large a 1:2 average of your previous Indoor Nationals and Outdoor Nationals results taking into account LSE and Chi Cobras don't enter Indoors. I've seeded them going by a mixture of their Outdoor regionals result from last year, their strong LWL results and my best guess.
2nd teams have been seeded to replicate their 1st teams apart from Brunel 2 who have been demoted places as doing that means Mohawks, Brunel, Surrey and Sublime 2nds all avoid their first teams in the initial group stage. My apologies to them.
If a team qualified for a National event last year and didn't attend have been penalised.
I would like to remind everyone that your seeding is where you begin and isn't where you finish. Here it is:
| Brunel I | 1 | A1 |
| Mohawks I | 2 | B1 |
| UCL | 3 | C1 |
| Scorpions | 4 | D1 |
| Sublime | 5 | D2 |
| LSE | 6 | C2 |
| Kent I | 7 | B2 |
| Chichester | 8 | A2 |
| Thrown I | 9 | B3 |
| Disc Doctors I | 10 | A3 |
| Hu? I | 11 | D3 |
| RUF | 12 | C3 |
| Mohawks II | 13 | A4 |
| Surrey II | 14 | B4 |
| Sublime II | 15 | C4 |
| Brunel II | 16 | D4 |
| Kent II | 17 | D5 |
| Thrown II | 18 | C5 |
| Disc Doctors II | 19 | B5 |
| Hu? II | 20 | A5 |
| LSE-UCL | 21 | D6 |
LSE-UCL are forfeiting their games on the Saturday as they are using players from 2 institutions. If any other teams are using players from multiple institutions they will have the same treatment if I am informed before or during the Captains meeting. If I find out later than that, the team will be disqualified and not allowed to play a further part in the tournament.
Right, strict stuff over with. I can't wait for the weekend. Captains meeting is at 9:30 hosted by the TD's and myself. We will have the AGM after play on the Saturday. It would be wise for Captains to attend that to discuss issues raise problems and it will be a chance for people to start putting their name forward for Co-ordinator next year.
See you at 9:30 on Saturday.
Cheers
