Selection process for EHBPC 2011 23-26.06.2011

UCL EXAMPLE: None of the below are in direct reference to Scene A > Scene B, Team A > Team B etc...

Top 4 of the league are automatically give their spots, they played a season (just like footie) not throw-ins not any one-off tourney, they paid their dues.

6 remaining spot:

• 1 to the 2nd largest scene (Manchester? Brum? Cambridge?)
  
• 1 to be decided by 2 x 5 chukka (home and away) play-off games between 3rd and 4th largest scene
  
• Who makes up the best team, who represents their scene in the play-off is up to the local scene to decide.
  
• **ASSUMING **neversayiassume that the above 6 spots are taken by the best 6 teams in the uk
  
• Tourney for teams 7-10, free for all, everyone allowed wherever in the UK you are from, the losing play-off team included in the tourney/qualifier by default. Just for the interest of not wanting to prolong the qualifier beyond what is needed, limited to established teams, not some newly formed team just wanna get some tourney experience etc.
  
  

Yes, the 7-10 tourney might well end up with London teams making up the places, but yeah, life sucks, life's unfair whatever, if you think the you are good enough to make up the top 10 teams in the UK then go for the qualifiers.

Back to the footie example, you do not get a place in EURO 2012 just because you are a country/state, you play the qualifiers and you get your place. The only reason why the top 4 in the example above are given auto spots is that if they play in a full qualifier is that they might take out a team which is better than the fifth placed league finisher but not as good as the top 4.
