OK. We're going with 5th-6th April. It's pencilled in at the sports centre, but it'll be properly confirmed over the course of this week.

Sincere apologies to anyone this process has messed about. Please consider it an issue of ignorance rather than malice on my part.

Registration will open either late this week or early next (I'll give advance notice). Full teams to be registered, then payment to follow within one week to confirm the place. As previously mentioned, places will be capped somewhere between 28 and 32 teams. Confirmation of this will be provided when we announce the registration date.

Hope that's all ok. Any questions ask away.

To be confirmed by Monday. I'm afraid the co-organiser's gone away and I need to speak to her first.

Ah. Sorry.

OK. Date to be confirmed by next Monday at latest. If there's no disagreement I'll assume this'll be UK Champs, but if people don't think it's suitable then no worries.

Currently unsure regarding what the dates issue is. Checking...

I think it's more a case of if it's 'officially' the UK Champs. I don't know who decides that. If it is, then we need to do it in a reasonable amount of time to allow for qualification for the Euros, I assume.

**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.

No opinion on process, but happy to organise an event in Bristol for this. We'll definitely do a tourney of some description in 2014 anyway / as well.

Anybody know Zsofia's team?

tough workouts against Shootin' Loads; Ady and Caspar

Ahem.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for a swell day. It was lots of fun. Reckon we'd be happy to organise something similar in Bristol if people were up for travelling.

And they're sticky?

Manchester teams strong on cock-related names. Also typo for 'van' deferens?

Was hoping to come up, if I can get a lift. If it's ABC, does that mean I don't need to worry about sorting a team?

Imaginative.

Pretty sure any slashing's still against the rules. No specific rules for hooking goalies.
I'm just happy to be reminded of Max's pre-emptive slashing at the Eurobench...

Anyone interested in my DZR Dice?

Interested, but would need to try them on. Are you at the LO?

What colour?

Hmmm. Also slack on getting a team. Anyone with limited ambitions after a third?

Slack on registering. Is this getting close to being full up yet? Just so I know how much to panic?

I'll be there not playing, so don't mind taking a shift. Not sure I could manage the whole way through though.

Can we make nominations?

Presumably July, rather than June?

Didn't notice it but we're there tonight so I'll check. What make is it?

I had an ace first tournament time. Lovely to meet a lot of nice people who didn't (openly) laugh at me for being crap.
Particular thanks, in no particular order go to:
John H for organisational help.
Ady and Caspar for board making.
Jesus for looking down on our humble tournament and making it not rain until it had finished.
Juan for sponsorship sourcing.
Sponsors for sponsorship.
Rich and Zsofia for organisation. Mostly them. But also the others.

Congratulations to winners and those close, but also particularly to Wrists, who I thought did really well.

Probably too late now, but there is a space for one more team now. If any other teams can get themselves together and to Bristol for 8.30am tomorrow then let us know!
