Guys don't get your hopes up too much, I'm provisionally looking at 8 teams full RR or if it's massively oversubscribed, then 10 or 12 for swiss but we're hopefully at a 25 minute game with 5 minute turn-around scenario. Nothing is set in stone but i'm looking for competitive teams from around the country. The teams will be chosen from sent team bids, behind closed doors! It's a nice ride from London though anyone wants to come and watch.
Roughly i'm hoping to get bids from teams like this:
Bristol
Brighton
Birmingham
Canterbury
Cambridge
Manchester
Rouen / ROTW
North London
South London
East London
West London
(I'm looking for a team btw.)
Also the accommodation is off the hook at £13.90 pppn, I'm negotiating the court cost at the moment but they are more expensive than I anticipated but not prohibitive. There are loads of practice courts around the main court but I wouldn't feel comfortable using them for the tournament.
Will hopefully confirm all this next week. Any issues or concerns, bang them up here.
