I'm disinclined to agree chucker. The Euro qualifiers is not the same as any other tournament that we hold, it is purely to determine, in the case of this year, the four best teams in London who can go and represent us.
I agree totally that tournament play is important for teams development but in this case I personally do not feel that it is appropriate. We are aware of who the top x teams in London are, do you think that playing a new team put together purely to play this qualifier will benefit Malice in any way?
I'd say it would make more sense to keep the qualifiers limited to the teams who actually stand a chance of being able to qualify. Additionally, this means that it will be easier to get through all required games in the given time frame.
