Hey all,
Having read the countless messages on BD over the last few days regarding 
GBH etc, as a member of the Bears 1 team that played at the weekend, I 
wanted to clear up a couple of things. Mainly, the issue implied by some 
that GBH have been the victim of a sort of 'witch-hunt' because they beat 
one of the top seeds. After our quarter final with GBH, we were gutted at 
losing, but congratulated them and wished them the best of luck for the 
tournament. We did not, as has been loosely insinuated, search for some 
loophole to see us reinstated into the tournament. The first most of us 
heard of the issue was five minutes before our next game, against Haze, when 
it conspired that we might not simply be playing for 5th-8th, but a 
qualification place. We left the relevant parties involved to discuss GBH's 
situation and got on with our games. Basically, we did not assert any 
pressure for a decision to be made against GBH.

It is a shame that this seems to have taken the focus away from what was a 
great, closely fought tournament. Cheers to Haze for putting on a great 
weekend.

We sincerely hope to see GBH at the Regional Qualifiers in the spring, and 
hope there will be no hard feelings between the two teams.

Merry Christmas y'all,
       Taz (Bears)
