> 
> Hi All,
> 
> This is something I should have sent out earlier in July, so many apologies for only doing so now.  
> Jane Gilligan (Executive Officer of Underwater Hockey Australia) is seeking States's views on a development plan for international underwater hockey competition structure into the future, sent by Tristan Reynard (CMAS Tournament Director) - see the correspondence copied below and the attached.  Jane is seeking responses back from States by the time she leaves for Portugal on Sun 7 Aug, so if you have a response on this, please send your response to our new President, Mark Lewis (mark.lewis at csiro.au) by COB on Thurs 4th Aug.

> Subject: Rep meeting at age group worlds
> 
> Hi Jane,
> All the countries present met to discuss Thier preferred future format / timings
> 
> it should be recognized that necessarily the views expressed would I'n all cases reflect that of the countries peak organizers as no doubt those present had an "age group" bias
> 
> Having said that the overwhelming view was that the age group comp should NOT be I'n the same year as the elites.
> 
> And that they (as with the elites) they should be held on a two year cycle
> 
> It would be expected the age groups would also hold  regional
> Comps in between the worlds
> 
> Ie
> year 1 age group worlds and elite regionals
> 
> Year 2 elite worlds and age group regionals
> 
> Focus was definitely on under 19/23 and masters were of a lower priority
> 
> I raised the question of wether masters should be held with the elites or age group worlds - with an outcome not worked through
> 
> There are benefits both ways :
> A) the attraction for recently retired elite players to attend and catch up with friends from other countries if held with elites
> B) if held with agegroup current elites that are old enough could play masters 1 year and elite the next - this may provide an opportunity for elite players to play masters at the same time as mentoring the u/23 players who are likely to move to elite on the near future ( ad the beggars downside to a separate agegroup / elite comp is the lack of interaction with elite players)
> 
> What should be noted is that this is counter to feedback obviously received by Tristan as I'n his most recent email he was proposing a combined agegroup / elite worlds
> 
> Other points made were proposing :
> south Africa for 2013 for next age group
> Columbia for 2014 elites
> 
> Thomas indicated the CMAS games were dead
> The agegroup comp would go ahead even without CMAS support but Thomas thought the CMAS sanction will occur as that will allow more countries to participate
> 
> Columbia were seeking advice on how to overcome Thier CMAS issues ( which are due to their peak body issues) . They were assisted outside of the main meeting but it was along the lines that there hockey association would seek direct recognition from CMAS as has NZ and uk ( and should still be considered for australia at some point)
