The schedule is out!

So the Tour 0 schedule and seedings are finally out! From each of the north and south divisions the top 6 will make the A-Tour cut. The great thing about UK ultimate is that once you take away the top 4 finishers of Tour 08 (Clapham, Chevron, Fire and Fusion East) there are a whole host of teams that are good enough to be in those top 6 places. For the south division (the one I'll be playing at), I think that the winner will come from Brighton 1, Fully Charged or Fire 2. The next 3 spots I really think are up for grabs, the favourites based on last year would put Devon in there with Tooting Tigers (clapham 2 + noobs) but I don't know much about Devon this year and TT might choke with the pressure put on their new guys to perform. Word on the grape vine for some time is that Fire 2 isn't the Fire 2 of last year but rather one half of an evenly split Fire squad. If this wasn't the case then I really wouldn't have put them as contenders for the Tour 0 south title but as is reflected by there numer 2 seed, it's common knowledge that this isn't the same team that finished 21st at UK nationals 08. Whatever happens, I can't wait to play!!
