I think I have to agree with the idea of one big tournament. Whilst it will decrease ASBO's chance of playing in the Euros, it will mean that the best in England get to play. I can imagine how pissed off I would be if I was top 8 in London, but couldn't take the place because it was gifted to a less good ROE team puely because of where I lived.
2 tournaments could be fairer for making sure that everyone can get invovled, but I think we'd need to make both open to everyone, and you can chose which you want to enter, or enter both. people could sort of hedge there bets.
My only problem with this format is if we don't do it, how do we seed it. If we already know that the ROE teams are going into the tourney th underdog, it seems a little unfair to seed them against good teams, effectivly getting rid of their chances of qualifiying?
