Just for your information I will reaffirm that the length of B Tour games this year are identical to last year. Yes last year they were 45 minutes in 1 hour time slots! If this had been bought up last year then the UKU would almost certainly have taken action and Tour 1 would have been held wit

Not 'a' solution, but 'the' solution. However, the UKU needs bids to make this happen next year. Note that the TDs this year are Tour A/Womens players - if there were 4 B-Tour players to step forward with bids for a 32+ team tournament for 2006, I'm sure they'd be gratefully received. Obviousl

Hi George, I agree that smaller teams do find it difficult to commit early, but I think that Hannah's point was that the bigger teams could and should follow Leed's example and pay their club earlier, allowing for early payment at tournaments. Tour 1 in Bristol shows that one way to get more pitc

I really don't think that calculations are necessary here, the point is, that the B tour games shouldn't be this short. I play in the A tour, so this didn't directly effect me, but it didn't change the point that I was disappointed to find that the B tour were playing such short

If you're going to be picky about it, half the teams on the B-Tour actually only played 7 x 45 minute games, and of the 7 games that my team played, 3 reached the hard cap before time and one was only 30 minutes due to a previous game overrunning. I was hoping I'd receive more comment on

Maybe that was right for some teams in the B tour, but playing for UTB, I think we had a cap in only one game as well. Our games were only to 11. Maybe if they'd been to 15, we'd have got into the cap more. Jez UTB1 Wayne Davey wrote: >Re JP: > > > >>A tour >> >>16 teams >>8 pitches >>6 * 90
