It is fair to say that Strange Blue has not represented itself very well
over the past week or so.  However, with respect to Yes but Nau I guess I
have to take personal responsibility.  I played with Strange Blue at YbN
last year and had a great time, so I was keen to organize at team for this
year's tournament.  Months ago when I asked people what they thought there
seemed to be sufficient interest that I registered for the tournament and
put up £65 or whatever of my own money for a team deposit.  However, as
the deadline for getting the rest of the money in approached, people were
pulling out and it became clear that I had only two options:  I
could risk trying to put together a team that would be almost entirely
made of pickups, without a great deal of time, or I could give the
organizers as much notice as possible that we were withdrawing.  I chose
to withdraw, and I let them know about 5 weeks before the tournament.  The
ways things worked out I ended up disappointed, out of pocket, and now
rather embarassed.  Not much of an explanation perhaps but those are the
facts.
