John and other interested teams,

>  It'd be kinda nice to know before the nationals

The WFDF decide how many will teams from each nation will go to the 
World clubs based on how well the national team did at Sweden in each 
division and the number of overall places available at World Clubs.  I 
theory WFDF should have been able to make this decision straight after 
Jonkoping - but it seems they aren't that efficient!  So no-one knows! 
(if they do can they let everyone else know).

In reality, this makes only a slight difference anyway since some 
nations won't take up their places so reserves will be up for grabs.  
Places are offered on ability to make the clubs first then national 
ranking second if there are more clubs interested than spaces.  After 
the Nationals the BUF will send a list of *all* interested clubs to the 
WFDF and Worlds organisors with their ranking, but hopefully we will 
know more before then.

The Clubs in 97 will be huge!  The organisors are already taking 
deposits from clubs interested in going even tho' no-one knows who will 
qualify - so they obviously expect to cater for most interested teams.

Other than that I know no-more.
