Why not? The regulations about matching kit expressly say that they can be relaxed for new teams. Would it really be that hard? Just decide that it is a on the spot fine (of say 10 Tour points) for any A Tour team not wearing matching numbered kit. I think you would probably find that every team complied pretty quickly. The only problem is finding someone to levy the fines and then put up with the complaints that are bound to come (I would guess that it is primarily this part stops the UKUA from enforcing these rules). I personally would be very happy to do it; unfortunately I'm not in the UK at the moment so that would be rather difficult. > > I didn't say we shouldn't try and fix anything, but is kit really the most > important of everything I listed?

In fact he said "we did notice that kit standards at the top of the A Tour were pretty rubbish at the weekend. Especially disappointing as these are the teams and individuals which the rest of the Ultimate community look to for inspiration." Seems to me that he thinks it is an issue. As for the other things you mentioned: if offsides is really an issue for you then there is a very simple fix - call for a re-pull. Do that 3 or four times a game and most teams would stop being offsides. > If image when stepping on to the pitch is the most important thing, then I > for one had better retire cos I've been spoiling it for a long time!
