jono, your point about a minimum 8 week gap between the two is crucial. on the assumption that the qualification process will stay the same, 2013 UKI Champs could auto-seed the one or two teams. with a short turn around till the actual euros, team line-up wouldn't change much.
alternatively, use the UK champs as the the qualifiers. only open to regional teams. lots of games, top X go through to euros. sometimes the seeding mightn't be fair, but that's sport. top 8(?) go through from euros to worlds. some teams will have a harder run than others and miss out because of it. unfortunately, that's just the system we have.
