Further to this, what exactly *are* the criteria for running a UKU sanctioned event? According to http://www.ukultimate.com/FAQ/tournaments.aspx#TOURNAMENTS%20AND%20ENTERING%20TOURNAMENTS the only condition is that a bid is submitted to the DoC.
Problems with MT1 included: - ridiculous scheduling as mentioned already by Si Barlow - no free accommodation (i.e. camping) despite high (£160) entry fee - inadequate facilities and shelter for such large numbers of people (36 teams) In addition, the Captain's meeting was held early (some people missed it), and Sunday morning games were delayed for no stated reason and with no notice. Although there may well have been one other than because no-one had bothered to put cones out, it would have been nice to know. I saw water pitchside on Saturday but it was not refilled (and we played 4 straight games so couldn't get our own). All in all it was pretty slack organisation considering that it probably earned the TD £5k. Must we put up with this kind of [EMAIL PROTECTED] for another season? Or will TDs actually realise that they need to have dedicated people running the tournament, spend a bit of that profit on some staff and make these problems a thing of the past?
