i agree. but it would be fair to wait until say, 2 weeks prior, to give unattending teams (or those who don't do their uni work 12 hours /day with the forums kept open) the chance to voice their interest. at this point there would be the option to create more spots in manchester, leave them high & dry, or organize a separate tournament. the last 2 options i think would be unfortunate, especially considering all the work the folks in manchester have and will be putting in to make this the best and fairest competition of UK teams to date.
as for new teams that may form after april 18, stefan from berlin has offered a perfect solution, maybe i am the only one to have noticed- there will be a qualifying tournament held in berlin on august 12 for 6 additional spots not assigned to the continents. whether you are just attending for pickup, or are serious about playing but missed (or lost at) your country's qualifiers, this is another chance to earn your place.
