unless finishing badly then reflects badly on NZ ultimate which might otherwise
reduce the number of spots we could get for world clubs. But spending too much
effort on these issues right now is a waste of time - get a better indication of
number first.

I agree with Ric. The more people we get there, the better it will be for the
quality of the game in the future.

I could not disagree more! Is it better not to participate at all than
to participate and come last?

If we have enough willing men left over after selecting a mixed team
then why not let them play - even if only as a development opportunity?
Heck - that is probably a better motive than respecting some 'earned'
seeding.

Now, I doubt there'd be a lot of interest in such a 'development only'
type team - especially with the amount of $$s involved, but ... I've
been wrong in the past. I think ;-)

PS. The same rationale applies equally to the women - if there are
enough left over and they want to play - good for them. Of course,
that seems even less likely just due to the fewer numbers we have...
