Surely this might extend the blessing beyond 18/24 teams, solve potential overcrowding problems (eg 2 18 team touneys at same/different venues). Obviously this is most ideal at places with huge a capacity (both tourneys at same place), but still... if the opportunity arose... Certainly there seems more than enough talent and interest, and though it may cut off more people from 'the title' and qualification may still be an issue, at least more teams would have a chance to play against high quality sides from around the country, get a shot at some silverware, and enjoy their ultimate. Maybe one for the future... Pete (Lozza) BlockStack @ Brunel STD
