The Village Indoors takes place on the 29th and 30th of November. We have only the one hall and so to give everyone a reasonable amount of playing time we've had to restrict it to twelve teams. Plans for a Village tournament have been kicking around for about a year, when our esteemed leader, Stu Clark, suggested that it really was about time we organised an event to say thank you to all those teams which have invited us to their tournaments each year. So the Village Indoors is, for the time being, invitation only. To fill the tournament up and overlook those teams we "owe" a tournament to would be criminal, and we would deserve to get our heads kicked in by those teams. Invitations have gone out. If the tournament is not full by the middle of next week then we will happily extend the invitation to all and sundry. More invitations have gone out than there are slots available, so even if you're invited, it's no *guarantee* that you'll get in. It's been terribly hard to decide who to invite - there are so many teams and players out there who've become really good friends, we'd like to be able to invite everyone. But sadly there's no way we can do it. Time was when you could throw a twelve-team tournament and have trouble filling it. How things change. It's all good though. Further evidence that we need more tournaments, I think. Paul Hurt, Village And yes, I'm Village Indoors TD. Rumours of the death of indoor Ultimate have, evidently, been greatly exaggerated. ---------------------------------------------- Paul Hurt paul@ultimatum.demon.co.uk mobile: 0370 918719
