No, we had a deadline to register by the 20th, and our allocation for the euros is based on those registered. If we add more teams now, it's not fair to the teams that pulled their fingers out and registered in time.
A round robin tournament was what i was thinking of, it's the fairest approach, we could spread it over a few weekends, but it will take some serious organising to make sure everyone plays everyone. Every team would need to be there (i guess) 2 days out of 3. If we go for this approach, we're almost creating another league. I see this kind of option being hugely impractical, travelling all over for games, and all the games (12 games per team) having to be played in a week or two. It's too much.
Peronally, I would much rather have a 1 day round robin tourney, we all get there early, play until we're done. That's it.
I'll set up a poll soon to decide what type of qualification system we have.
Options so far
