• Bill, Jon, I'm not talking about any specific teams, I'm just trying up with some sort of logical argument for doing the qualification process a certain way.

    I agree with Jon. It seems like you are starting from a desired result (Cosmic, NT, SB, DR qualify), and working backwards to try and achieve it, rather than just putting on a tournament and letting the results sort it out. The only reason to restrict entry to the qualis is logistics, ie court-time available. If we have the time to do a RR, brilliant, if not, then do something else. But all the teams should have to play, in my view.
