20-21 April 2013 Nottingham Uni (Grove Farm)
UKU-BUCS University Outdoor Nationals and Alumni Cup comes to Nottingham University's Grove Farm. This is the same venue used for Mixed Tour and Open/Women's Tour in previous years. As with 2012, we will hold Open Divisions 1 & 2 (16 teams in each), plus a Women's division (24 teams), and the Alumni Cup (16 teams). The Open Division qualification events occurred on the 9-10 March, and normally would create two divisions of 16 teams each. We had some severe weather problems during regionals, so it is possible that the format of Finals may need adjustment - we're waiting to review that at the moment. However we have a maximum limit of 32 open teams. The Women's division will have a limit of 24 teams and places will be allocated to 1st teams first, and then on first-come, first-served basis. The Alumni Cup (*) will be limited to 16 teams as in 2012. Again this is first-come, first-served. We have information on the website here: http://www.ukultimate.com/2013/04/20/bucs_university_open_outdoor_nationals_ alumni_cup_2013 There is an online entry form on that page. Deadline for entries and payment is MONDAY 1st APRIL. Accommodation. Please note that we prioritising trying to find cheap/group accommodation for the Uni Women's teams. Comments about ALUMNI CUP: Eligibility: . All players in a particular institution's alumni team should be ex-students of that institution. . We will limit each institution to one team unless we have spare places at the tournament. . In order to help the Alumni division get off the ground, any team with 10 or fewer players is permitted to bring one guest player (no restrictions). . Current students NOT competing in the other divisions ARE permitted to play in the Alumni Cup. It is strongly advised that players do NOT play in the Alumni division in addition to one of the other competitions. Other Comments: . Shirt colours are bound to be difficult. We recommend that all teams bring a backup white shirt to enable games to be played as Light v Dark if all else fails. If you have a better solution that is fine of course. . We will take a simpler approach to SOTG in the Alumni division where we ask each team to provide a single vote for their opponents who they believe displayed the best Spirit. . In 2012 Leeds University became the first UKU Alumni Cup Champions. Can you take on the mighty Leeds? Hope to see you there! Si Ps - Alumni Cup - we intend to make this a permanent feature of Uni Outdoor Nationals. I didn't put this on the website, but LEEDS IS BEST. Hah. If you don't come you can't do anything about it.
