Of course, this is not at all certain (see Scott's original message, 20/10/98). If it is not the case, i.e. if my assumption is incorrect, then I would hate to see Scottish teams denied the right to play. I was certainly not advocating that Scotland (and hence Britain) lose places allocated to them per se. The fact that Scotland has been granted *additional* places should really be looked at as a bonus. It's good for Scottish Ultimate. And if it's good for Scottish Ultimate, then it's good for British Ultimate. I suggest the best thing to do is to let it lie until we know for sure, and I'll avoid constructing arguments based on invalid assumptions. So there's no need to send the boys with the Claymores round just yet, OK? Locks
