Wow Joe, you look different when not in the BB setting, like your hair but not sure the jacket / blouse combo works... ..

Shameless plug: please get these and any other tournaments up on thetacklezone as another place to help advertise them.

Is it worth moving this to Team England section. If that's straightforward?

Not been able to post in a while, TFF doesn't get past work firewall so struggling on my phone

Just to say I think it's great things are being reviewed with more community input than ever.

Mubo makes some good points, especially about place for discussions and opening up the captaincy to more people.

Hi all,
I'll try to make my points consisely.

1. TE forum is not useful. I think in hindsight it has been a bit of a barrier to entry, having a totally different forum. I *really* don't see why flight/hotel discussion should be open. Solution, move TE discussion to TFF/Tacklezone.

2. I think the role of captain might be too broad. It's too much emphasis on one person, who has to drum up interest, decide on team selection criteria where it's unclear, approach players, make public posts for social media etc. We should more clearly define the role.

3. I agree that we should open up the captaincy election, now we have the "must have played in 1 tournament in last 12 months to vote" rule. Maybe limit to English coach with 50 NAF games?

4. Any auto qualification is extremely difficult and prone to gaming. I favour selection (in some form). I won the NAFC in my (3rd?) ever tournament. I absolutely should not have gone to EB that year.

Good to see us already moving forward with some good ideas in the new TE section.
