I've followed the debate on britdisc leading on from the Nottingham
tournament with interest.  In what other sport would you get such a frank
discussion about things that effect our sport?  I think that the whole
process has been a complete success (admittedly I'm not one of the BUF
official that gets mauled - and I hope that Ben, Chris and Ian amongst
others know that vast majority support what they do).  Because of the
issues raised by stig and chris, what ever we now do as individuals I
think we are far more aware of the wider impact to the ultimate community
of our actions.  I don't see the prize giving at Nottingham being
reproduced again.  

I'm not so worried about Sarah's news piece.  Those of us who are still
concerned that the messsage has still to be taken on - I think it
has.  While I am in full agreement with Stig on the issue of bongs as
prizes, I am haisitant to step towards official regulation to do
this.  The line has to be drawn, but while we still can, I hope that the
line can be drawn in forums like britdisc.  It is far more likely that the
rank and file ultimate players will govern their own behaviour because
they are aware of the possible impacts than because there is an official
clause in the association proposal.

Standard Disclaimers(/problems with the above statements)
(I apprechiate that this is a benifit from the small size of the sport at
the moment that we can still use britdisc in such a way and that we can't
expect this to continue as the sport grows).
