**UK Champs Proposal
**
In the (apparent) absence of other interested parties, Bristol is happy to put in a bid to host the 2014 UK Champs.
Please note that we’re planning on holding a tournament anyway, so if you think this should not be the UK Champs, but still want a tournament to happen, that’s fine. Also if you were thinking of holding it and just hadn’t let on yet then we’ll (probably) be happy to defer).
Location
St Pauls Sports Academy, Bristol
Dates
5-6 April 2014. Please note likely late finish on the Sunday (9pm-ish, depending on numbers).
(subject to final confirmation from sports centre).
Cost / Games
Approx £45 per team. Number of games depends on numbers, however we’re likely to need to cap not much higher than 30, to allow for 5 swiss rounds and a 24 team double elim.
Facilities
Two large, grippy, fully boarded (to shoulder height) courts, as used at last year’s Bristol Open and the Eurobench competition.
Toilets, showers etc. As befits a sports centre.
Downsides – strictly no alcohol to be consumed on site. Mild faff getting in and out with bikes (we won’t have an open gate this year).
Accommodation
Local camping available at small site with space for up to 10 tents. TBC, but once dates are confirmed we’ll book it out.
Limited accommodation with local players.
A couple of decently priced hostels (Full Moon and Rock & Bowl Motel).
Experience
Bristol’s run a few things in the past, and we have had offers of support from experienced folk from other scenes.
Any questions please ask. Otherwise please can someone tell me how it gets decided if this is approved or not.
Thanks,
Paddy.
