BritDisc Re: [BD] Spirit of the Game(a plan)

[Graham McGill]

I'm sure I won't be the only one to suggest a few more cons, but here I go:

2.  You have back to back games a mile from HQ you're screwed.
3.  The team previously on your pitch 'forgets' to bring the pitch disc back 
you're screwed.
4.  The game runs late but instead of starting the next game as soon as it 
finishes, representatives from all 4 teams have to trek back to HQ to sign 
in and out the two discs, after the two teams who just played have had their 
circle, and each has had a huddle to discuss spirit scores which they have 
to hand in immediately.  Tournament is running an hour late by lunchtime on 
Saturday.

Not well thought out, but at least it is a suggestion.  I favour the marks 
out of ten, average taken, which irons out teams playing less games and 
opponents forgetting to hand in votes.  Not perfect, but I'd rather have 
responsibility to handle it myself than be forced at the cost of scheduling 
nightmares etc.

My views, not my team's etc.
  Graham
