European Qualifier Discussion - 2013 and onwards

Yeah, sorry if it seemed that way. I agree with you, but we're effectively asking weaker teams to self-identify themselves, so why can't we do the same with the stronger teams?

The only way to sort this out is for as many as want to play, come & play. Any other method is just guess-work, which is likely to be pretty inaccurate, given how much a novice can improve in 6 months in this sport, at the moment. E.g. Matt Cosmic went from novice to one of the best players in London in what seemed like weeks, Emmet likewise etc etc.
