There are only 4 womens teams in the womens tour, I can't believe thats all the women we have. Women will still play for open teams this weekend. In fact some might play in the open and the womens events if they can, its been done in the past. >Isn't one of the BEST things about ultimate the fact that men and >women >are EQUAL? I think so.

I'm not saying our women are bad, we've got some of the best women in the world but 'gender is irrelevant'.... >There are plenty of other weekends where an Open Women's Tour could be > >arranged surely? Isn't that what happens with womens indoors and outdoors? Ok you could have more events instead of going straight to Nationals but at the moment having a womens tour held alongside the open tour is a good compromise until there is a demand for more women's events. >I fully support the mixed events as well, and these should definately >be >kept seperate too. Can't argue with that. Adam Chevron _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
