Tourney: EHBPC2010 Geneva Qualifiers 11.04.2010

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.

True. I also don't think anyone else would step forward, so thought it fine to go with what we have on the list. And I really think that as those teams were the number by which GVA decided, it's only fair to select from those teams. I still think those teams should be the ones that battle it out to qualify.

Admittedly though, the wording of the post didn't state it was a final list. sorry for lack of clarity there.

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 will 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.

Yes, best idea yet.
