Quick question, in Australia the qualifying mark is top 50%, whilst
everywhere else it is top 25%. If I go to a qualifier and end up in
the top 50% but not the top 25% I won't qualify for an O/S
Championship, but by the fact that I am now qualified in Australia, I
no longer count for qualification purposes in other qualifiers. So
does this mean that I'm screwed if this happens to me? Can I not
qualify for the NAC If I qual in Australia at say 40%? Or can I
continue turning up to qualifiers to try and get into that top 25%
bracket?

That's a very good question and might affect me as well depending on
the state of the bank balance next year and when I decide to holiday
in Europe.
What are you planning on attending J, the NAC or the EC?

The NAC.
My parent's just got back from Canada and told us how much they liked
it, so thought next year's holiday would be there. The Mrs has seen a
fair bit of Europe, and we also went there this year, so North America
might be nice.

I travelled to Vancouver recently and totally loved it. Very highly
recommended. Though the weather sucks. 300 days of rain a year I
believe.

Yeah the other half is keen to see Canada as well, just a matter of
figuring out how to manage it :-)

If it makes you feel any better, I brought up this exact point years
ago (as early as May 2005) back on the old Conclave list. As far as I
can recall, I never did get a satisfactory response!

You need to leave in the important text.
In any case, if you are qualified any where, you can play everywhere.
There is no exception made for the 49th percentile Australian
qualifier.
If you qualify by Aussie rules, you can play at the NAC and the EC.

I understand the reasoning behind Australia being different, and it
shows a great understanding on behalf of WW to the Australian
situation (large land mass with a small population sparsely spread).
However, these rules will probably unfairly disadvantage us
Australian's wanting to play overseas if the rules will be upheld as I
fear (percentile 50-26 qualifying but not for OS champsionships).
Everywhere else, you can try again if you fail to qualify, but
possibly not for an Australian wanting to play in the EC or NAC or
whatever. It's going to end up becoming kind of farcical if this is
the ruling, because I can tell you that if I don't win the first game,
I'll either be dropping out after 1 round or self-destructing in the
final 2 games so that I don't qualify at all, giving me a 2nd shot at
it later on.
As such I implore the V:TES powers that be look to either allowing all
qualifications to stand regardless of where they were, or they allow
players who qualify in Australia and who finish top 25% in a qualifier
afterwards to knock their qualification up to successful for events
outside of Australia.
I know you mentioned that you've passed it onto Oscar, but as I
haven't heard anything back yet I thought that I'd start pushing the
barrow a bit more. Afterall, it costs a lot of money to travel
overseas (especially for us Australians), and I'd like to have a
decent shot at playing before beginning to organise travel.

Another fly in the ointment. What about organisers of Qualifying
events/National events in Australia? Their qualification is automatic
the world over according to White Wolf rules.

I second everything J says (except the part where he mentions us
Australians, he means Antipodeans).
It's relatively cheap and easy in Europe to attend a couple of
qualifiers should you choose too, not so cheap down under. Not that
cost should be a major factor I guess, preserving quality and all
that, but it cost me more for flights and three nights accomodation
Wellington -> Sydney than it did for my partner and I to do a 12 day
holiday in Europe taking in the EC in Turin (1) in the middle.

1. This was a *total* coincidence of timing if anyone is ever talking
to my other half ;-)

Not according to LSJ.

...after only five days? How many emails did you send to Orgplay in that
time? It seems that this is something you should take up with him,
possibly through your NC.

I say, let them play, if they take such a long trip to play at a
Continental Championship, the more the merrier. And if qualifying in
Australia is so difficult, even with the 50% margin, what the hell.
We in Europe can have so many opportunities to qualify, now even more
with the Mini-Qualifiers. I would appreciate to let them play.

But you *do* realize that none of them will show up for the EC, even
with a more relaxed qualification system? ;-)
