We are looking to build a team that can be competitive at the World Championships taking place in Germany, July 13th to 20th 2019. As a leadership group, our 3 key principles for building the team are:

 - Player Development

 - Positive Team Experience

 - Peak Performance

Our full vision for the team, along with an outline of our trial process and season plan, can be found here.  Please read on for more details.

Thanks for all the input we have received regarding the club competition structure.  This process is and will remain ongoing.  In the meantime we clearly need to publish dates and locations for the 2019 season so that teams and players can plan their year.  Please see below.  

There is a little more detail below, but very briefly:

• We will retain a split season for the time being, with mixed being played first in 2019.  
• Regionals-Nationals will stay at the same point in the calendar in 2019, and will feature North and South Regionals in all three divisions.
• We will retain an official UKU National Rankings list.  The scoring system will be updated - in particular to make sure that it copes better with teams competing at different events of varying strength at the same time.
  • Regionals & Nationals will both also become ranking events - i.e. teams will score ranking points based on their results at Regionals and Nationals. 
  • The rankings will be used as part of the entry criteria to some “Tier One” events, and will be used as the basis for seeding at most ranking events. 
• We are going to continue the move to “break up” some of the larger Tour events with a view to providing and encouraging more smaller, “local” events.  To do this we are defining two “tiers” of ranking events.
  • The “tier” does NOT correspond directly to the competitive level of the teams, and it is intended that when there are no “Tier One” tournaments, that the strongest teams will choose to attend “Tier Two” tournament(s).
• It is not a UKU goal to directly organise all events; it is our preference to have more events being run by local clubs with, or without, UKU support.
