There were three main reasons for making the decision to ask everyone to re-register as users/members, and to re-register their teams:

1. The task of automatically migrating the data was not small and would have cost the UKUA quite a bit of money. We felt that the relatively small amount of effort for an individual to register as a user and to register their teams did not merit the spend!

2. It would also have meant we were even further delayed in our switch over to this new website. We decided that - overall - the benefits of transitioning to the new website sooner outweighed the inconvenience.

3. Quite a bit of data on the old system had fallen out of date - and the nature of the information and contact systems were such that it was extremely time-consuming to establish what was current and what was not. Thus - the move to a new website has also become an opportunity to try to clean our membership and teams data.

Not everyone will agree that this was the right decision of course. If that includes you, then Apologies! If you would like to become more involved in the decision-making processes for the UK Ultimate Association please contact us.

Please note that we did migrate all of the future event data.
