The second section (elim) is about finding the UK champ.

Will there be any preselection criteria for the Qualification event - if separate - (as in previous years regarding teams not wishing/able to play in the forthcoming Europeans)?

Will teams expressly not able to play in the Europeans but wishing to enter the UK Championships be playing in the Qualification event?

It's not a separate event, see above.
