In light of these changes, is there a target date for the publishing of related changes to the UKUA Tour Rules?
I'd imagine that particular concerns include: - is it still a 3-team promotion/relegation between Divisions after each event, as per 2007? - will the Kit Rules for B Tour become more stringent than in 2007(e.g. numbered shirts and/or matching shorts?) - will the Kit Rules for C Tour differ from the 2007 B Tours Thanks Wayne > From: "Admin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2008/03/06 Thu AM 11:36:25 GMT > To: <[email protected]> > Subject: [BD] Tour Info > > As you may remember we formed a "Competitions Committee" several months ago > so that decisions about changes to competition structure could be discussed > amongst a wider group, and also by the people that are particularly > interested.
