Nationals 2009 - Brisbane Teams Draw

Well with only 48hours to go until Nationals 2009 hucks off, we thought it was time here at the stately BUB Manor to look over the draw that has just been released and let you know what your favourite Brisbane teams will be up to come Thursday.

The 11-team womens draw has been split into a 2 pool setup, with the 6^th seeded Sultry landing in the 6 team pool. Their initial draw is as follows (seeds in brackets):

Thursday

9:00am vs Bush/Suffer Jets (11)

1:00pm vs fACTory Girls (2)

3:00pm vs Sugar Mags (3)

Friday

9:00am vs KAOS (7)

11:00am vs Primal (10)

After this, the womens draw splits into 2 cross over pools, so Sultry need to finish in the top 3 of their initial pool to go up and stay in the running for the glory. Definitely an achievable task.

The 14-team mens draw has been split into a 4 pool setup with 2 top pools and 2 cusp pools. The 8^th seeded Firestorm has landed in a kusp pool with Heads of State (5), Karma (9), and Sublime Obnoxious (12). Their initial draw is as follows:

Thursday

9:00am vs Sublime Obnoxious (12)

1:00pm vs Karma (9)

3:00pm vs Heads of State (5)

After this the draw splits into 3 cross over pools (2 top pools, 1 bottom pool), so Firestorm will need to finish in the top 2 to stay in the hunt. All going to plan, this should be sown up after the Karma game with the HoS game to decide who goes number 1 in their pool. But then, plans are made to be broken. That’s the old saying isn’t it?

We will endeavour to have all results and happenings to you as they happen throughout the tournament, which is very much dependant on internet access at some dodgy café or through Jangles bringing his laptop and having wireless access. Until then, stay tuned.
