First-ever Full-Scale European Championships set for 2010

Since there is a year's notice, if all 10 listed sides wishes to attend, then it would seem reasonable to rank them in order and then have the bottom 4 playoff earlier in the year for the right to the 2 spots.

Just using our rankings as a guide:

so for Europe:

1. Ireland
2. GB
3. Denmark
4. Sweden
5. Croatia
6. Germany
7. Finland
8. France
9. Spain
10. Netherlands

and not mentioned but maybe also Czech Republic?

So perhaps a playoff between Finland, France, Spain, Netherlands and Czechs for 7th and 8th? Of course teams like Finland might dispute their ranking.

It requires extra logistics so maybe unreasonable, but splitting them any other way seems tough since there isn't much of a form guide.

Maybe if 4 of those teams wanted to attend then randomly draw them to play one of the other teams, winner is in, loser is out? A harsh call, but another example why a side competition for the remaining teams would be important for future ranking.

Lots for the organisers to decide.
