Except, of course, Sheffield - depending on whether "over the road" can
really be called "split site".

Seemed to work, from the Druids' perspective - most games when we were
over in Wide Lane seemed to start and finish roughly on time...

There could have been a _potential_ problem with the three-way tie that
nearly occurred in the SOUP, BAF, Druids, Nightfever Sunday pool, but
the rules being on paper, and SOUP defeating BAF soon put paid to that.

Most teams seemed to end up over there at some point or other. I hadn't
really realised/noticed that we'd been "relegated" to the "second site"
along with the second division, so can't complain retrospectively.

It may seem a little late (and therefore lame), but Druids would also
like to offer their thanks to Iain and his team for the excellently run
tournament.
