Direct Qual to worlds from this tournment has worked in the past well. Let's not complicated it, Let the polo do the talking.

Brisbane would rather have one big tournament.

Auckland is split on this. On the one hand it is nice and easy, but on the other hand this method has traditionally heavily favoured Australian teams taking the majority of the Australasian spots, so we must abstain.

Auckland is split on this. On the one hand it is nice and easy, but on the other hand this method has traditionally seen Australian teams taking the majority of the Australasian spots with no guarantees for NZ spots, so we must abstain.

On issues like this one, it sometimes concerns me that Newcastle gets an equivalent vote to the bigger clubs where the Worlds teams will come from. It's possible we may not even have a team at AHBPC, so we are completely unaffected by this proposal.

AdamM has already voted for NTL, wether Nationals or a post Nationals elite tourney would be the qualification process for Worlds does not impact on our club significantly.

Perth is all for it. We have to come a long way and spend quite a lot of money each time we go. So having one big torne and one big party is very appealing for us! Haha

Sydney agree's, although I would want to have new discussions with the club if worlds format were to change

No one in Christchurch is too fussed on this. We'd love to go back to Melbourne again. I thought if we had our own nz one, potentially more nz teams could go to world's.
