Foundation Semi Final & Challenge Semi Final Events!

Postby TheShadz » Mon Aug 10, 2009 9:27 pm

With this talk about the Grand Final and possible date(s), I was just wondering if these tourny's will be held the same weekend, or will they be held on different dates before the Grand Final dates, as these events are qualifiers for the Grand Final itself?

good question

i would hazard a guess and say that the semi finals will be on the same weekend just like as part of the existing championship series

the grand final is a 2 day event, so that will be on a different weekend i would think.

The Semi Finals will be held on the same weekend; Challenge on the Saturday and Foundation on the Sunday.

Dates for the finals and venues are locked in but will be released by State Managers very shortly.

Also while I'm at it, With the state Leader board, will the top 50 in the state automatically qualify you the Foundation Semi-Final. On the website it says it does, but asking a few TD's around my local area a few of them seem to think that it won't.

Just curios that's all.

The top 50 on the Away Score board will qualify for the 25K Foundation Semi Final.

I see no issue with this.

The Dream Team Score Board though does not qualify players for any Semi Final.

Well, the GF is going to be a full two day event. If the events are on the same weekend, they're going to clash at some point. NPL love squeezing events together.
