It is based on having 28 teams. Firstly, Skunks may have up to two of their own teams in the tournament. But Skunks II must send their deposit to Dora by the closing date. Also, Violently Happy haven't sent their deposit to Dora as yet. I understand that they do intend to come. Assuming that they do enter in time, they will have an automatic place as a result of being in the top 16. The list below is in order of 'qualification', so if either Skunks II or VH does enter, then the bottom teams 'fall off', but then sit at the top of the waiting list. TO ALL TEAMS THAT HAVE ENTERED. If you think you may have problems raising a team please let us know asap. Any team that pulls out in time to be replaced (at no hassle) will not incur the penalties that are set down for teams that withdraw from tour events. The following teams get in to Soton: (I have tried to include the explanation of the system as I go along - if anyone thinks I've made a mistake according to my reasoning or the tour rankings then please let me know!) 1. Skunks (hosts) ------ Teams in Ranking List Top 16: 2. UTI 3. Shotgun 4. Catch 5. Druids 6. Chevron 7. Red I 8. First Touch 9. Headrush 10. Red Shift 11. Sneeeky's 12. BAF 13. MMJanitors 14. GBJun 15. Sharks 16. Village People ------------ Teams in order of payment 17. Strange B 18. Chaos 19. Twin Peaks 20. Jedi C 21. Red II 22. Fingers 6 23. Uriel 24. Slipdisc 25. K-Niggets 26. Superfly 27. Nightfever 28. Mud Culture ------------ Waiting List ------------ 1. Bliss 2. Seattle team 3. Mad Kows 4. Mohawk MM 5. Killer Dump Teams that were relegated from Tour III: One More Touch, Mohawk MM, Killer Dump, Mad Kows. They are placed on the waiting list in the order that they paid their deposits. I expect that after this email: 1. Skunks II and VH will enter. 2. Seattle Team will pull out, as there is no point in planning to come to a tournament that is full. 3. The waiting list will then read: Nightfever, Mud C, Bliss, Mad K, Moh MM, Killer D. Clearly this situation is far from ideal. I have ideas about how to alter the tour in the future to avoid this situation, and also improve on some of the other things that still aren't quite right. This is not the time for all that. Can't apologise enough to the teams that don't get in. Remember: if you play on an unrostered team (eg Bliss) or a rostered team that isn't at a particular tour event, then YOU CAN a) pickup with an unrostered team b) play as the guest on a rostered team (provided that they only have one guest). [Women players who are currently unrostered AND intend to play in the Women's Division at Exeter could roster themselves to a rostered-team for Southampton as it won't affect them at Tour V. Remember that you can't move teams between the end of the Tour and Nationals. Having said that, hopefully there'll be a women's div. at Nationals too.] Si ------------------------ Simon Hill 0113 289 0971 (h) amtsjh@amsta.leeds.ac.uk ------------------------
