Here! Here!
As a long time purveyor of tournament reports (I think it was me who 
did the last one back in Feb for the student finals) I think I am one 
of a dying breed who believes that people other than those directly 
involved in the tournament are interested in what happens.

Can you imagine a few years ago if the English TV stations hadn't 
bothered to cover the world cup in the USA just because England 
didn't qualify- believing nobody was interested?  Of course not- 
people ARE interested.

Whilst I know there are good reasons  for it, I also find it 
frustrating that there have been very few Ultimatum's other the last 
few years- I remember the general excitement felt whenever one came 
out (seeing your own teams name in print was a big thrill).

Let's hope the Tour newsletter can fill in these gaps.

Love & Luck,
Lawrence
