Schmindoors Nationals is soon upon us.

Plymouth jumped the gun slightly and I wasn't quite ready for it but here
goes;

This year there is not going to be regionals in the traditional sense.
Instead to provide greater flexibility to you the customer (and also to make
life easier when a region can't be arsed to host a tourney) there are to be
four qualifying tournaments. 
Glasgow - Mud Culture
Sheffield - Phat Eds
Milton Keynes - Whiplash
Plymouth - Picnic
Once attendance's and strength of each of these tournaments is finalised
then the number of qualifying slots will be published prior to any of the
events.
I would ask teams not to start entering to the events this instant. You will
soon be receiving a generic entry form for all the events and you can send
off to the relevant organiser. Different tournaments have different
facilities (eg accommodation) and I would also ask teams to consider their
location in the country before running off to enter a tournament.

Teams will also be receiving with their entry forms information on tour 99,
BUF subs (which have to be paid before you can compete at regionals) an
other pertinent information. 

A word on BUF subs: All teams intending to play indoors must either;
a)	be a fully paid up member of the BUF, and as such a subscribed team
in their own right. Or
b)	all players on an indoor team must be members of any subscribed
outdoor team (not all players need to belong to the same outdoor team)

Please do not panic about not getting into a qualifying event. It is
estimated that these four tournament can cope with approximately 90 teams
between them.

Postal invite will be sent out soon. Ensure that your team name and details
are registered with Ben Ravilious (BUF Secretary) to receive your invite.
