I think that part of the reason that more people/teams don't step up and
organize a tournament is that they have no idea how to and of all the
things that are involved in running one. After all these years of
running tournaments, there should be a "guidelines to running a tour"
document up on the UKUA website that lists what's required beyond just
the standard bid information. Otherwise, every time someone new steps up
to organize one (like a few of us GB ladies who organized tour 0 went
through this year) they're starting from scratch. Just another thought
on how things can be improved. Not difficult to achieve either.
