Uni Tournament

[tatley]

Hey All.

Anyone in Uni teams in this forum, if so post below or PM me.

Is there an inter uni torno this year? when is the next? if not anyone fancy playing in one?

 

[Steve Hancock]

Hi

As far as i know there is not one arranged yet, i am looking at two possibilitys at the moment, but revision keeps getting in the way of sorting anything out.

Have you been here? ukupa.org. Not particularly active in recent months though.

 

[tatley]

Cool will visit that site later, yeah revision and course work, is keeping us all busy.

As far as i know portsmouth hasnt been to a inter uni for a while concentrating more on nationals, and a few overseas.

But def interested in one next year or this.

Your uni team got any sponsorship?

 

[Steve Hancock]

Sponsorship? See my sig.

I'm a bit sceptical about the number of "sponsors" some teams have. WDP and their site NPF look after us, but that's got more to do with a good business relationship than us showcasing their brand.

A lot of people like to dress up bulk buying discounts etc, as sponsorship. It's all tied up with ego, trying to look like the big boys with logos on their jersys. "It your not sponsored then you are not a serious team." type thing.

Rant Rant...



Having said that, i've been impressed with some of the out of industry sponsorship deals some new teams have clenched, bagging several hundred from local businesses. (Not sure whether they will work out to actually finacially benifit the businesses in the end though.)

If there is one i may try and get a few bath uni guys together for it! As for sponsors, pm tris from atmosphere as he is offering some severe sponsorship, excellent paint! Used it at the weekend at dartford and came 2nd in div one so can't be bad!

True well said mate. What i class sponsor ship is cold hard cash to be spent on torno's, equipment, travel, etc. Other deals as cheeper paint and discounts like u said is more about good business practise and customer loyalty, most companies in any industry give discounts, to regular buyers.
