I think at least one of them will be unpopular! :) IMnsHO: 1. Running the Open and Mixed Tours on the same weekends won't work. Too many arguments that I could name... other people will probably divulge in full. BUT, Give it a few more years and this might indeed grow wings and fly. 2. Think this through a little more... picture specifics (even though you're trying to come up with a general concept!)... You're currently suggesting two independent tiers of the Tour, with interaction (some kind of promotion/relegation/qualification event) at the beginning or end of the season. It's a fine idea, but work out what the flaws with this are, and how to fix them, too... >3. In conjuction with 2., have a database of Frisbee 'friendly' tournament >venues, which can be approached centrally by UK Ultimate rather than by >individuals who want to run a tournament (as these are often from the top teams, >so would not always be able to be a TD). I can't argue with that! Wayne ---------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Retter mobile: 07970-903420 w.retter@bigfoot.com office: 01737-273655
