With respect to people finding teams near them, have you checked out the BUF
web site recently? I think you'll find there is such a mechanism on there and
has been for a long while.
On the subject of a register of players, there is no quick and easy way to
achieve this. As a player interested in the organisation of our sport, I would
have expected you to have done this already, but may I suggest that you read
the BUA proposal where this has been addressed in full.
