Hi 

Here's a novel thing: a tourney report.  Well, a quick one anyway.
In fact I was just writing this when Leo's arrived in my mailbox - so
I'll just add a couple of things if thats OK....

This w/e saw 3 (out of 4) of the Regional Student Indoor Champs: North,
Mids and SW.  SE will happen in January as nobody there came forward to
host until it was too late.

This tourney now has 4 regions in order to allow for people with only one
hall to host the event, or to make it small enough for a "first-timer TD" to
feel comfortable in taking on the job!  And thats what happened: with 
Lancaster, Sheffield and Southampton being the 3 venues.  (I know Soton
do lots of tourneys - but the others don't.)
With about 12 teams in each tourney it was also possible to have a good 
schedule with lots of games/long games, etc.

Top 4 teams from each region qualify for Finals in Leeds in Feb.

Leo's already given a good flavour of what was a great fun, well organised, 
and well spirited tourney, so I won't repeat all that .. other than to
say what a pleasure it was to play in a big hall with big endzones (see
eurodisc discussion) and no walls.... and it was a pleasure to see Bob do
that greatest play.... even if I did drop it!

Thanks to Lancaster... and to the other TDs.

See you soon

Si
