Coed is uncertain.<BR/><BR/>As for the styles I've had talks with many people. My feeling is the top 4 teams in the UK would compete at Regionals for a spot of the North East (my most familiar area), but I would guess fit in the 3 to 6 spot in that region.<BR/><BR/>The next teams in the Open tour, 5 through 16 seem to fit in North Easts general pool of teams like Grand Trunk, Gunslingers, Phoenix, Mephisto, Colt .45, etc. These are good teams with good players, but not what I would consider Elite.<BR/><BR/>The next grouping 17-36 are just on the edge of the above category, and the next grouping are the lower levels in the North East.<BR/><BR/>As for college, the teams in the UK are a bit behind in terms of quality. I would say our the UK college scene is like the NA scene 5 to 10 years ago.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, I find the game less aggressive, more spirited, and a little behind in some of the fundamentals (with the exception of the upper teams).<BR/><BR/>PJPeter Andrew Jamiesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05792224377441162267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31421523.post-74726681635508633162008-04-09T09:54:00.000-04:002008-04-09T09:54:00.000-04:00Who are you playing for in the UK?

Also in September. <BR/><BR/>Both of the above are relatively light hearted but attract a decent level of competition, particulalry at the top end.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299920584224964860noreply@blogger.com
