I seem to remember this happening before in the first U8 tour, and teams were moved up then. So it seems that it should have happened again here there really should be no problem with that. The fact that leeds took 4th spot was not ideal but once you have
done the schedual you do go for the easiest option.
Anyway what is done is done. Leeds played well and earnt there place can we just leave it at that but maybe set a rule of thumb for the future so as to avoid this?

I sympathise with your Friday morning dilemma, but surely the easiest thing
to do would be leave the 4th space empty and not promote LLL from 9th to
4th. Admittedly this would have left byes in the fight for semi final
places. But that's not your fault.
I thought the structure of the tour is supposed to make it impossible for
any team outside the upper group to penetrate the top half of that group,
over one tour event.
Also by promoting LLL from 9th to 4th they would not receive the full
implications of getting knocked out of the top eight from the previous tour.
The tour is about consistency of play not what you can pull out of the bag
on the day.

To the Ultimate Committee.
We only found out about clapham's withdrawal on Friday. The schedule had
been written and we wanted to change it as little as possible. We tried
getting hold of the u8c committee but failed. When we reseeded the teams it
was unavoidable that one team or another would have had to have byes and
have played less games.... we were just trying to limit the damage late on
Friday with a busy day at work - hence the action taken.
You may feel that this sounds a bit dodgy but we had to make a decision and
the action taken was the easiest and quickest way. I apologise to the
ultimate committee and any teams that feel hard done by but as any other
tournament director will confirm, last minutes changes cause problems which
often lead decisions that are sometimes not favorable.
Please be assured that any decision made was for the interest of all teams.
Apologies once again and I hope you all still respect Rik and I as
tournament directors who would still want to hold a tour event in Leeds.
