I read an email on Britdisc (maybe 6 weeks ago), regarding the number of teams entering each event over the past few years, and although it has steadily grown (big up! to all those people who promote and are proactive to newcomers), the number of teams tends to drop as the year progresses... last years Nationals being relatively small.
As a pro-advocate of some type of 2 division structure, I think it would be great if the Ultimate Premier Tour events were restricted to <16 to 24> teams, leaving anything between 16 and 32 at a 2nd Division or UKUltimate Tour Events (when there is 40 in the second division, it will be the right time to consider a 3rd). But i dont think it should be this year (just my opinion). Next year would be much better advised, time for discussion and planning will be available, rather than rushing headlong into something many are unconvinced about. Lets see this done well... Hell, we might even win a second Div event... And now Women... I have to say that after the successes of Womens Indoor Ultimate this past few months, I was saddened to hear that few were willing to enter Bristol. I wonder if the problem is the same as with Students generally... there seems to be some complacancy in introducing students to Outdoors... I'm not pulling anyone down, but considering that we have just had the calmest Spring period in living (student) history, I'm confused (not unusual). Last Thanks to the chap who scanned that Telegraph Article in... I'll go and check it out now. See you all at TOUR ONE !!! s nottingham ultimate FlyghtClub Inbred anyone who'll have me...
