• That list was announced as being for those who would be interested at this stage, so that GVA could get an idea of numbers and decide how many places we'd get. I agree with Ray, it's unlikely that anyone else will step forward, but it didn't say they couldn't.

    We got through a lot of games down at Newington last time for the qualifiers. My suggestion would be a similar one-day round-robin qualifier on the date most people can make, but that we give the option to any team who can't make that date to play all other teams within a specified period around that date (2-3 weeks?). The league [st]will[/st] should be done by then, so it should be possible.

    It means we get the joy of a big qualifying day and everyone gets to compete if their availability doesn't suit.
