I've been reading the conversations about qualification to WUCC...

I thought it might be worth making a slightly tangential point (if such a
thing can exist).

People have frequently been referring to teams qualifying for WUCC, and have
usually made
reference to the tour in these comments.  In fact, the 'BUF' did actually
state at the beginning
of the season that qualification would be on the basis of Nationals (as it
has been before).
Of course - the Tour feeds into Nationals, so in that sense the Tour also
has a bearing on 
qualification.  

I realise that many people see the Tour as being a more accurate means by
which to decide
on a ranking because it is based on many (as opposed to one) events.  This
is a discussion 
for the future - personally I think its fifty-fifty.

Anyway - I wasn't sure if everyone was aware of the situation so I thought
I'd mention it.

Given the situation described above, I am curious to know how "we" are going
to rank the 
Gun and Chev...(since they tied 3rd at Nationals) - ooops!
