Oh Shit. London is coming to take that cup home.

dream on DUDE

shit talking starts here

ha

i think the only thing anyone can be sure of is BAD and cosmic.

lots of great teams in london. who knows.

Wien: 1

Woot!!!!

See you guys in Geneva!

Yeah, good questions! Gabes, is it your suggestion to do a qualifying tournament or was this decided somewhere?

any other idea on how to decide what four are going?

And if someone can't make it they're automatically out!?

what do you suggest for a solution?

We have a little more time this year, we should try to find a fairer way if we can.

pool to decide the date will be the best, IMHO

yeah, it should be a wicked mini tourney for sure. I'd like to come down and watch!

mini tournament is fair, if every team can attend. it really isnt the best way, but it gets the votes.

We could try a round robin qualification over two weeks. Every team plays every team. Vote on three dates. Have those as designated days to play quali games. Sort the rest out within the 14-day time period.

sounds like an improvement to me.

pool

pool = vote on a date for a single day or weekend tourney?

The London Qualifier for the Euros is going to be a big deal. It would be well fun to watch as a tourney, reckon.

i just think it will take too much time and cause too many problems to do a single tournament.

it makes more sense to do it chukkas way imo.

any other idea on how to decide what four are going?

I have an idea.

All teams meet at downham in wrestling gear. Then have a "team royal rumble". No bikes, no mallets, just wrestling. Last 4 teams left go to the euro's.

I'll ref.

pool for format: round robin, uno day, weekend, (anymore???)

+1

Seems fairer to spread it. If a player can't make the one qualifying date, the team can still compete for a place.

I'm torn between a spread-out thing and an epic one-day battle for four spots.

i'm down for the pool.

the spread out thing will make it a really tense interesting couple of weeks, with results coming in every now and then. lots of tweeting!

epic battle ftw!

do you realise how difficul is the get 6 people together for a league game?

a rather one day mayhem

fair point, but pools are the only fair way of deciding the format surely shirley?

I can't see a round robin working too well especially not in the space of a week or two. But a vote is hte best way of deciding the format.

Just have a mad one day tourney and we'll all come down for throw in's. It'll be immense!
