European Qualifier Discussion - 2013 and onwards

You're potentially talking about the best two UK teams not having a route to the Euros? Lame.

Nope, nobody is suggesting that, that would be stupid.

I have no doubt that the 2013 UK Champs will be organised too late in the season anyway. Lame.

Constructive.

Snoops (Cosmic), Ryan (Spring Break) and Josh (Nice Touch) have formed a theoretical super team (London All Stars) and need a route to this season's Euros based on last season's NS/UK Champs results, explain how they get there without adopting an individual qualification process (as in NA, which has it's own myriad of problems)... also explain why it's then a good thing for a 4th place team (or lower) from the NS Standings/Uk Champs to then be auto-qualify once all the teams above them have been dissolved (yet the players will be forming new teams for next season)?

Nobody is suggesting any of that Jono, not sure where you are getting this from.

1 place for the winners of the primary competitions in the UK, not passed on, not for the lower teams. The rest still qualify as normal. If the winners choose not to take it (ie they choose to form new teams), then it gets returned to the qualifying tournament.

The reasoning behind it is that the qualifying is already over subscribed, and that's going to get worse in future years, making it less and less accurate, this is one way of helping that, and a nice way to reward the winners of what should be the most important tournaments for UK players, outside of the Euros or Worlds.
