Qualifier Update

The official email won't be going out from the QUDA Communications Bunker until tomorrow, but news on the wire is that next weekend's Queensland Qualifier has been reduced to four teams and a one day event.

Miscommunication led the Townsville based Hand of God to register even though they weren't planning to make the 1000km trip down, while UQ Happy and the Channon's Mismatch, realising that bringing their new players to the tournament would result in some potentially demoralising defeats by the elite of South Queensland Ultimate, particularly with the more amenable Lovefest only a few weeks away, wasn't the best idea ever. Meanwhile, the Slamtown Flatball Club is missing some key leadership folk and Byron Bay's the Pass is in a bit of a lull.

So, if you live in SEQ and want to play at Mixed Nationals 2008, you should do yourself a favour and get onto either the UQ Lovers, the Lounge Lizards, Great!Sugoi! or the venerable Mind the Gap, as quick as you can. The way we at the BUB understand the rostering rules for AMUC - they are such that teams can only pick up one male and one female that haven't played with the team in the previous two years - so playing the QQ with your preferred gang is a way to make sure you're all good.

Anyway, please await the official communication via the usual QUDA outlets.

My understanding of 10.5 and 10.6 was that a Brisbane based team could pick up as many Brisbane based players (that didn't attend qualifiers) as they want.
