Does anyone still read this?

Allocations were announced recently...

South 5
East 4
West 2
NZ 1
AFDA - allocated to U19 team
Wildcards 2 (Based on Regional participation)
 
Women

East 4
West 2
NZ 2
AFDA - allocated to U19 team
Wildcards 2 (Based on Regional participation)


Suck it, East region.

So some very very early thoughts on who will qualify...
North - Firestorm
South - Chilly A, HoS, Karma, Chilly B and (choose from the following) HoS B\Tassie\Evolution
East - Fyshwick, Sydney Elite, I-Beam, Fakulti
West - Sublime, maybe Happy Pig?
NZ - who knows (WUCC prep?)

East will probably get at least 1 wildcard, and the second will be a scrap between East, South and North. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Nationals debut of Hills and Slamtown this year.


North - Black Betty
South - STBAU, Honey, Indies, Bush
East - Wildcard (x2?), Sugar Mags, some incarnation of Southside, Factory Girls
West - Primal, Kaos
NZ - anyone? (they tend to appear every even year)

East will probably get both wildcards, opening the door for Hills. South could steal a wildcard if they get more players at Regionals, but that'll be a struggle being in Hobart.

Slamtown probably unlikely at this point. They're getting sorted, but it's unlikely they'll be able to convince enough players to go to Adelaide, I think. Maybe not, though - definitely wouldn't write them off yet. If they managed to get a full strength team there, I think they'd quietly impress a few people.

Still waiting to find out what's going to come out of the Sydney women this year...

Shameless plug: for a bit of a preview of the top Nationals teams, check out the BC Invitational in February - http://firestorm.quda.org/?page_id=211

Word on the street is that Primal isn't heading to Adeliade this year. Kaos is definately sending a team and may be a women's Happy Pig from Perth as well.

At the moment the women's teams in the East are Southside, Sugar Mags, Hills/Manly (combo), Wildcard, Sydney World Clubs team and Canberra women (assume Factory Girls).  So, that is 6 teams for those 4 spots.  I assume some wildcards will be available.

No NZ Teams coming (Playing WUCC tourneys on East Coast)

This will  mean 4 wildcards in Women and 3 in Open

So some very very early thoughts on who will qualify...
North - Firestorm
South - Chilly A, HoS, Karma, Chilly B and (choose from the following) HoS B\Tassie\Evolution
East - Fyshwick, Sydney Elite, I-Beam, Fakulti,
West - Sublime, maybe Happy Pig?

Wildcards Masters, Sydney B

North - Black Betty
South - STBAU, Honey, Indies, Bush,SA#2??,Honey B?
East - Wildcard (x2?), Sugar Mags, Southside, Factory Girls,Hills/Manly
West - Kaos,Happy Miss Piggies

Qualifying in the East looks a bit hard at the moment...

As far as I know people looking to qualify in the East are:  Colony (Sydney elite) x 2, Fyshwick, I-Beam, Eastern Greys (Masters team), Fakulti, Umlaut and maybe Hills?

With the girls having: Wildcard x2, Southside, Sugar Mags, Factory Girls and Sandunes (hills + manly).

So that's potentially 8 teams going for 4 spots (at least one afda spot though) in guys, and 6 teams going for 4 spots (at least one afda spot too?) in womens.  Eastern Regionals should be pretty interesting.
