With the event starting later this week, though it might be useful to put an event thread in (I think there is a chat one somewhere, but for the event itself) as the entry list and draw start to come to fruition
If anyone has a pdf link for the entry list rules, it would be great to post it here?!
Hope this is ok and not stepping on anyone's toes!

The entry cut off is 6pm Wednesday - so Felix and Jay may be challenged as they play tomorrow; win in Nottingham tomorrow and they could need a QWC or will miss out potentially .
Charles B and Oli C could be in the same position if they win their Dublin matches today
the top 13 by ranking as it currently stands for the play offs would be:
Felix G (still in Nottingham)
Oliver C (still in Dublin)
Jay (still in Nottingham)
Ali G
Charles B (still in Dublin)
George Loffs
Giles H
Hamish S
Paul J
Max B
Ryan P (is he fit?)
Anton
Lui Maxted

Felix G (still in Nottingham) Oliver C (still in Dublin) Jay (still in Nottingham) Ali G Charles B George Loffs Giles H Hamish S Paul J Max B Ryan P (is he fit?) Anton Lui Maxted
and then
Aidan Mc. Emile Hudd James Story
Charles B out of Dublin and so would expect he will be in Aorangi Park
Not too long ago that having a 2 at the beginning of your ranking would guarantee some sort of WC based on the lack of other options but the depth on the mens side now in that 100-250 bracket is fantastic. Now we know how the French feel when their faves miss out!
If all the players currently in the slots turn up, the top 13 as Indy posted elsewhere would be:
1. Felix G (still in action elsewhere)
2. Oliver C (still in action elsewhere)
3. Jay C (still in action elsewhere)
4. Alistair G
5. Charles B
6. George L
7. Giles H
8. Hamish S
9. Paul J
10. Max B
11. Ryan P
12. Anton M
13. Lui M
Plus wildcards:
14. Ben G-W (West Worthing winner)
15. NCAA top ranked Brit but must be in top 30 of NCAA rankings - Will Jansen ? (Lambda can correct me but he is the only player outside Ollie T who fits the criteria?)
16. General wild card - next in order of rankings are Aidan McHugh, Emile Hudd and James Story - if any of the players listed above don't make, presume they all have a decent chance of getting in, partic those top 3 who are still in Nottingham and Dublin as of today.

So no WCs bssed on junior ranking with the men as opposed to the women. Seems strange?
