Mixed Nationals Slots for Queensland

The AFDA has released the initial allocations for slots for teams to go to Mixed Nationals, as well as the order in which unused slots will be reallocated.

Initially, South Queensland has been allocated two slots, but South Queensland also gets the first two unused slots (such as those that NT or Northern WA are unlikely to take up). Hence South Queensland can be 99% certain it'll be able to send four teams to Mixed Nats.

You may recall North Queensland automatically gets a slot and the Townsville crew are champing at the bit to take that up (and they might be able to pick up a couple of extra ladies from elsewhere).

Don't forget the qualification event for the South Queensland slots will be over the weekend of 30-31 August (it will likely be a one dayer if there's five teams or less).

More to come on that once we get through Halibut, but if you're thinking about playing Mixed Nats you might like to start getting your team together!
