hello all,
i am finally pleased to announce that the annual
Sheffield Beginners tournement is back, albeit with a
slight twist...
This year, due to unavoidable (and incredibly
annoying) venue issues, Sheffield Beginners 2004 is
being held in Leeds, and co-hosted by Jedi - the event
will be organised and run as usual by Sheffield
University's very own Phat 'Eds, whilst Leeds Jedi
will be providing the accomodation and party...
So i welcome you all to come and take part in the
fifth annual Sheffield/first and only Sheffield &
Leeds Beginners 2004.
----- * EVENT DETAILS * -----
The event will take place on Saturday and Sunday
23RD/24th OCTOBER (cunningly placed so it wont clash
with Lougborough or Edinburgh
begininers ;-)
The event will be held at the Leeds Univeristy campus
Sports Centre (previous venue for Indoor Nationals and
Northern Regionals). The address of the venue is:
University of Leeds
Sports Centre
Willow Terrace Road
Leeds
LS2 9JT
Accomodation, provided by Leeds Jedi, will most likely
be floor space in halls/houses of club members. TBC at
a later date.
Party TBA at later date.
----- * TOURNEMENT FORMAT * -----
Sheffield & Leeds Beginners has space for 24 teams, as
usual divided into:
a 16-team Beginners tournement
and
an 8-team Experienced mini-tournement
These will run side-by-side over the course of the
weekend, with the Experienced tournement intended as a
showcase of higher quality Ultimate for all the
beginners to watch and hopefully learn from.
Beginners teams must meet the following criteria-
a "Beginners" team may only field ONE experienced
player on the pitch at any one time, playing
alongside four beginners players in a coaching role -
The experienced player may not score points
but may assist, and must be differentiated from
beginner players by the silliest hat possible (prizes
for best hat, so lets be inventive people...)
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 Experienced.
Experienced teams, for the mini-tournement,
can field anyone of any standard.
