I don't wish to single anyone out regarding this ongoing discussion, but 
even if a few of the messages have been a little heated at least for not 
the first time in recent months the majority of the ultimate community 
have been thinking about ways in which to improve our sport. Granted by 
the time the lack of tournaments was discussed it was perhaps too late 
to do any for this year, but perhaps we will see more in the future.
Anyway, one thing we all appear to be agreed on is that we have a 
collective responsibility for improvements, since we can no longer 
expect the members of the BUF/BFDF/BDGA committees to carry the can for 
the rest of us.
To that end, Kowpat 1998 in Milton Keynes will give you all the 
opportunity to contribute to the end of tournament report. With each 
results slip that teams hand in there will be space for you to write a 
few brief comments on the game. Since both teams in a game will have to 
hand in a results slip we should be able to get a balanced perspective.
Obviously someone from the Mad Kows will have to use to compile the 
report, but at least we will know a little about all of the games 
played, rather than just the scores. At the end of the day you guys will 
have responsibilty for the bulk of the report, so it will be up to you 
how the tournament is presented to rest of the ultimate community. Feel 
free to tell how pants your team played in the first game, so long as 
you're willing to share this with everyone else.
This idea does not seem vastly different from those put forward 
earlier, which goes to show that we're more than capable of coming up 
with feasible ideas to make everybody's life a little easier, so rather 
than keeping them to ourselves lets see if we can do something about 
them. If you have any more bright ideas then I'm sure Mark Jefferson 
would like to here from you. In the interim, if you want your say then 
book your place at KOWPAT '98.
