It will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end.

Well, if teams are allowed to run 2 league tournaments within the same
year, then yes, and if they are not supposed to, then no I guess. Does
anyone know the rules of this? I couldn't find anything about it.

This is true but there has been some talk of relaxing it a little (max
2 maybe?) as it has been difficult for some teams to set up a
tournament in this first league year and this "BUC to BUC year" is
longer than was expected when that was decided. I would say that a team
that hadn't hosted a tournament should get first choice over a date
though if there was a conflict.

Regarding more than one local team in a tournament here are my thoughts
on the matter: If there were more than 1 local team that wanted to
enter (in this case Southampton) and it was to be a league tournament
all the other places should be filled with non-local teams first then
if there are places left they could be filled with another local team
or/and scratch team. If then someone organised a tournament and entered
more than one local team at the expense of non-local teams this
wouldn't really be fair if it was a league tournament so shouldn't be
counted as one.

It'd be nice to see what others think about these issues and to come to
some fair consensus about them to put forward.

CAn S'ton enter one team as a league team and one as non league?
Technically Calstcok were non league at teh JAn SWUM tourny as they
included a SWUM player and don't expect to make other tournaments.

S'ton last hosted a tourny in Oct 2007, this is 2008... also the
2006/07 league year ran to april IIRC so if the same were true this
year May would be a new year.

Not that it matters much i thought that the rules say the year runs BUC
to BUC which this year is going to be a little on the strange side as
we have a "long" year.

The League year runs from BUC to BUC.





I'm sure Jonny will be along soon

Hmm, Calstock were given league points and are in the league table.
