This is a great idea (Provided somebody can remember how many times they've lost the disc). And provides good experience against say a cup in a strong wind!!

You might wish to put upper and lower limits to this trading e.g. no more than 10 and no > less than 4 a side?! Another possibility could be the removal of players depending on the lead. e.g. For every two point lead, the higher ranked team loses a player (i.e. a four point differnce would cost 2 players). Every time the lead is breached, (i.e. the lower rank team score) they get a player back. Thus enabling the lower ranked team a 'catch up' advantage See y'all at Tour V Two Hands Night Fever Ultimate ----- End of forwarded message from Darren Evans ----- ____ ____ _ _ ____ .----------------------------------------. _\__ \ _\__ \ / \ / \\__/ | Ranulf Doswell | / \_/ /_ / \_/ \ / / / /___ | Department of Computer Science | \ __ \\ __ \\ \ _\ \\_/ |University of Warwick, COVENTRY, CV4 7AL| \ \ \ \\ \ \ \\ \__/ \\ \ | Phone: 01203 523296 Fax: 01203 525714 | \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \______/ \_/ `----------------------------------------'
