My question is this: Who is deciding on the 'Scottish Quota'? As I understand it from my years involved in the BUF (of which Scottish Ultimate is a part), the BUF get allocated a number of places which the BUF can then allocate as it sees fit - normally on Nationals finish. Has the BUF decided that the allocation will be split 4/2 based on an overall allocation of 6 places, or has the WFDF decided to give and EXTRA two places to Scottish teams as a special case? Or is the WFDF telling the BUF that their quota of teams should be split 4:2? I would be extremely distressed to find that the WFDF is making decissions on behalf of the BUF, but conversely extremely pleased to find that British clubs had gained an extra two places by virtue of a Scottish venue (World Clubs 2001 in Wales I say!). If, however, the BUF has decided that it's six places should be split 4/2, I would urge then to reconsider a 5/1 split - Sneeeky's being the only Scottish team that consistantly performed in the tour. Maybe I am jumping the gun, but I would like this explained BEFORE the final word on places is announced Scott Red
