NAF Approval Guidelines wrote: Pre-tournament requirements #1 - The tournament must also be open to any individual applying/paying in time until all places are occupied. Therefore, invitational tournaments (where the attending players are chosen by the TO) are ineligible for sanctioning. The one exception to this rule concerns national or state representative tournaments (see point 4 below).

Pre-tournament requirements #4 - Tournaments where teams are selected to represent nations are eligible for approval, even when the selection aspect of the tournament restricts participation. This is only if two conditions are met. First – the national selection procedure must be discussed and a broad consensus reached amongst the community within each nation (via e.g. NAF or other forums). Second – the tournament must fundamentally be open to all e.g. via the inclusion of a fully open individual tournament alongside the selection-based event. Team tournaments where states or provinces are selected representatively are also permitted, provided the same conditions are met.
We fall down on quite a few of those points.

And I don’t think we would have met the 8 week minimum notice period either.

Great idea, boys. Really looking forward to the write-up.

Things like this are a fantastic notion and should be encouraged!

A write-up for the NAF newsletter could be fun?

It just goes to show that a tournament does not have to be sanctioned (with yummy naf points) to still be incredibly fun. Already looking forward to next year and maybe something other than a 1-1 draw result for me.

Great write up, thanks!

Sadly we do not have a prize for guessing which game that was! :lol:
A tough 1-0 and first time I have ever beaten yon Geordie Treeman!

Great report Stan.

Geordies are looking to break the 30 point barrier next year so the Jocks had better up their game ;-)
