Hi Wayne, Thanks for questions. This year the events are Open, due to the difficulty in most parts of the country to find pitch space at this time of the season its unlikely we could host Open & Womens side by side. I've thought about running a mixed Ironman tournament and asked the opinion of several teams. The consensus was that as long as the teams understood that a miss-match could happen the rules of picking you line for the match could be kept the same.
The number of teams at each event are I believe as follows Devon - 8 London - 12 Sheffield - 12 I might be possibly for the London & Sheffield events to extend their capacities at this stage the Finals tournament will depend on the region events having enough teams and then finding a venue for what we think is an appropriate time in the calendar. The format will be pools with Semi & Finals. Not knowing the exact number of teams we have a this stage makes it difficult to give more details than this. We did consider several ideas however; we felt that pools/semis/finals was going to give teams the best value for money. Games should be 45mins in an hour slot for the cap. The team fee is £100. Hope that helps. Specific information on a venue can be obtained from each TD.
