Hi!
Jesters are down to only one girl for copa-cabana. The format of the
tournament is loose co-ed, which means that there's gotta be at least
one girl on the pitch, so we're looking for a few girls who would like
to pick up for us. Any skills are wellcome as we're a mix of beginners
sorry to butt in.
a little break for you,
any idea how many players in last weekends open final had won the Tour title
before?

My understanding of the reason the points system is the way it is, is
based on the premise that more importance is given to winning your last
game. The reason is that the team that finishes 3rd is definitely
better than that that finished 4th. The team that finishes 4th may not
necessarily be bet

As I understand it (and I could be wrong):
- Splitting Tour 4 was not so much an experiment as a necessity
i.e. it wasn't split because there were enough bids, but bids
were found to enable the split

Dear All,
Re: problems with scarce equipment and B tour players not being able to
watch the A tour.
There is no reason why the two halves of a split A/B Tour event need to be
held on the same weekend. If, for example, B Tour 1 preceded A Tour 1 by one
week, and so on, the same equipment could be

I think the tour as it is, 4 events around the country is a fantastic
format. If you start splitting it into North and South regions, it no longer
becomes a "tour", and it no longer is a national competition. Maybe when we
start getting 50+ first teams atteding tours o
Back at tour 1 I spoke to several people on this matter, and the idea of a C
tour was one mentioned. I think its a great idea as it provides teams lower
in the rankings somthing meaningful to play for in terms of
promotion/relegation between B and C, as opposed to pretty much meaningless
games
unless Bristol is happy hosting 60+ teams.
Kevin.
It just so happens that we are planning on a second set of fields about 400m
away...
just so we can provide the 26+ no of pitches to give all teams entry and to
give B Tour all the pitch time they crave.

I thought people had been saying Tour 4 was the smallest for years.
Why then the desire to further split it? Is it so hard to travel to
four tournaments a year? I'm sure B tour players want to play people
of a similar level from all over the country just as much as the A
tour does.
I wasn't going to get involved with this one, but I've got to disagree with
Hannah on a point.
>My suggestion would be to limit the B tour to 16 teams
The whole point about splitting the tour was because we had finally hit 48
teams at a Tour tournament. Splitting the last Tour tournament may not

If you split the B tour into a North and South then it is no longer able to
rank teams effectivily over the whole of the UK.
The idea of getting more teams to enter tournaments should surely be sorted out
through getting people to run more winter leagues and local tournaments.

The only slight problem you get is that after a few places into the B

From a unbiased perspective I feel that 3 teams should up / down.
Reasoning: It makes the 13 v 14 game in the A tour and the 3 v 4 game in the

With only 31 teams competing at Tour 4, the smallest number at a Tour for 3
