It is my personal opinion that we shouldnt seek a B team at a "15" man event.
I do not believe that we have around 35 players strong enough to represent Dfs at this level..

TIN HAT ON... Cool

sorry my good man you are wrong there.they failed to get out of there group but the A team did.the standard is so high 3 shots your not getting the chance to learn cause your ass is getting tanned.there are lots of B team comps now that are good for the things you were saying.the A team struggles to do well and after the 18 that have been picked and those who cant make it there IS a big gulf in class.most off the other B teams are from places that have a larger amount of quality players and is SO hard to get in there A team.and there team is as good as our A team PEACE

Personally i think it should be left to the B team manager to :

1) see if he has enough interest amongst players
2) decide whether he thinks the team is strong enough to challenge for a qualifying place

What you need to remember this year is the fact that the last few places will be taken by a qualification tournament and not a ballot as has been the case in the past, i think there are enough players to make up a B team , getting them motivated and interested enough to play and travel is an entirely different animal!!!

I aint disputing that there is probably enough players to make up a B Team, however I seriously doubt there is enough depth to any B team to make it worthwhile and not detrimental to the building reputation of Dfs.

That's all i was meaning.

I have been in touch with Scotty Robson 2 or 3 weeks ago and he said he wanted a B team entered so right or wrong we have 2 teams entered. It was entered at the July meeting so we now have to play. I will find out at the September meeting where and when the play offs will be for the B team. I am sure Scotty will be in touch with the players he wants to go soon. The money for A and B teams have to be paid by September.

We have a reputation for many reasons not helped by Bal C's no show to the Champions event. Are the SPA still waiting on payment?

Whatever standard the B team has should be as good as or better than a lot of A teams from areas smaller than Dumfries. Win lose or draw will be at the standard of the A team until the last couple of years successes.

More Dumfries players having an opportunity to play and learn at a higher level, whats wrong with that?

Both teams should be able to play independant of each other without concern of the other team doing better or worse.
