I don't like the idea of people switching divisions, it kinda makes the qualifiers pointless.

true im not going to enforce it but if a lower player wants to drop and a higher player wants to raise i dont see too much of an issue

My qualifier was pointless. In my group was me (mid plat) and a guy so noob he wouldn't even be able to place in bronze, I was telling him what to do as I was roflstomping him he was so bad.
So I basically got an automatic pass to gold and the admin realised how shit he was and decided to put my fellow clan mate who is bette than me in silver.
Stupid no shows made haymarket qualifier pointless

kinda sucks there were alot of no shows from what ive heard both burwood and Chinatown's turnouts were fine ( i havent heard much from chatswood) cannot fathom why people would pay to enter an event and then not show up

in all fairness myth, you would have stomped through to first place in any of the other groups without dippa in it, most likely (I guess possibly not deL's group, but there'd be very few you wouldn't top)...

It made for some good games in our group, but it's a little silly when you have dj going through to the gold finals, and if our group was done 'properly' you'd be in the silver finals, and I'd have missed out.

Haha thanks. I'll take it as a compliment!

I think Del is right though very mixed overall but it couldn't be helped given that they were some no-shows. Disappointing really, if you commit turn up, otherwise tell them and they can have freee spots.

That would be true if the original format was adhered to but seeing there were a lot of no-shows at some of the locations you have to make do with what you have. In this case where some groups are a lot stronger than others you're going to want a bit of leniency.

For example at Haymarket some groups were full and some only had 2 players just because of the number of no-shows, which can't be helped. People in a group of 2 automatically qualify where they might not have otherwise so if they feel they can't compete and someone else would better serve their position I think it's a fair enough call to make a switch (just think, the switch could have happened in the group stage for the same effect).
