Nexus and Tigers set to collide

[sjt19]

From the NPPL website:

"The Rules committee voted on and approved the addition to rule 23.01 Seeding.

This rule will be in effect immediately.

23.01 Professional Pro Teams will choose a City name to be associated with there current team name. A Professional Team can not share the same City name as another Professional Team. (For the 2005 season City Team names will be determined based on the 2004 overall team rankings)"

I guess then that Nexus have the rights to the London name, what are the Tigers going to go with?

tigers have just had a load of new kit made if i am right

Dam, this could make things a little tense!! I presonally would like to see Tigers keep the name they have occupied with pride for a number of years.

But those rules look like they aint gonna bend so it could come down to a serious and intelligent chat between the two. If that does happen it may take some time and an interpreter

But the yanks won't have heard of any other uk cities!

Could they claim that they meant a different London Eg the one in kentucky, USA?

 

[HERMITT]

I also believe that there is more than one place in the UK called London.

Is it possible to use extensions, 'South London Tigers' for example? It's effectively a different city with the amount of burnt out cars around.....

 

[sjt19]

They can still be 'Tigers' just will have to change the city name.

The situation in the USA was that LA was wanted by Infamous, XSV and Bushwackers. Infamous got it and the others had to choose elsewhere. why should it be any different with other teams?

No extensions as far as i am aware

 

[HERMITT]

Hmmmm what happens if Nexus change their name to Manchester? This would be a logical step. Its a shame that Bristol Shockwav doesnt have the same ring to it

 

[sjt19]

Why would Nexus change the name? They are the team with the rights to the name
