Could this not be changed so it becomes a proper pre-season tournament?

Could prove handy with the RWC taking a large chunk out of the season

Going to have to debate the idea with myself. because i was originally going to use it to try out my WC/6N team...

Exactly - I assume most people will be looking to play their w/c team, or at least some new combos.

Going to have to give some thought to it

3 of the top 4 in the playoff's in the same group...group of death right there!

After some thought i'v decided to agree with you that this tournament should play a role in a teams ability to gel and will edit the rules to reflect it.
