hi all, this is, unfortunately, just a heads up rather than an official announcement/notification of the event...
for anyone wondering why Sheffield Beginners 2004 has not been added to the UkUltimate events board as yet, it is because i am still waiting to confirm a venue - our usual venue at Concorde Sports Centre is being refubished until January, and is therefore unavailable. I am in the process of trying to finalise a venue at the moment and hope to be able to offically annouce the tournement ASAP. Whatever venue will be eventually used, its is fairly certain that Sheffield Beginners will take place on the weekend of October 23rd/24th (cunningly placed so it wont clash with Lougborough or Edinburgh begininers ;-) Please pencil this date into your diaries... Sheffield Beginners usually follows the format of a 16-team Beginners tournement with an 8-team Experienced mini- tournement side-by-side, though due to possible picth-constraints this year it may be that the Experienced mini-tournement will have to be dropped in favour of a coaches demo-game/s. Sheffield Beginners caters primarily for University teams, but any teams are welcome, as long as they meet the criteria- a "Beginners" team may only field one experienced player on the pitch at any one time, playing alongside four beginners in a coaching role. (The experienced player may therefore not score points but may assist) A Beginner is classed as anyone who has played for LESS than a total of 3 months - any more than 3 months and that player then becomes Expereinced. Experienced teams, for the possible mini-tournement, can field anyone of any standard. I would like to get an indicator of the expected level of attendance so that i can start organising other details while i wait for venue- confirmation, so if any teams are interested, either in the Beginners or Experienced catgeory , then please email me at both the addresses below, as my access to the club emails during vacation periods is limited: Sheffield University Phat 'Eds club address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AND at my personal address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] thanks all, sorry for the delay in updating you all, and sorry to those this does not apply to.
