hello,
as far as i can see, some people are saying: 1. maybe we should allocate qualification spots based on recent performance and some are retorting: 2. no...because you could have gone to whatever region you wished. well: why not just say that teams must make clear the region they will be going to a few weeks in advance (and have a proper deadline). then some bod can do the maths and allocate the qualifying spots based on that information. it seems clear to me that the spots must be allocated based on recent performance. to see this just imagine if MHB, BAF, teamshark, yomama, space monkeys, WYWLAS, SNOAP, and hammerage could all only go to the midland region. if only 4 of them, say, could qualify, it would be a farce. that is just the current situation taken to its logical conclusion. reductio ad absurdum. qed. cheers, Rodders/Pete Space Monkeys, Chevron
