I can't be the only one that sees a problem with this.
As far as i am conserned take fx amazons, they are in the light gruop. They can flush most teams and be very very bashy, i know they have light armor, but can still make quite an impact. Then you have skaven in the dark group. They can be very very bashy vs elf teams, but some develop thier skaven team different, with out killer skills at all. So if they join that group, they will just be kanon fodder.
My point is, why not let the gruop admin (Mezir i think it is) decide what teams go in wich qualifier. Then he can determaine wether they are bashy or nonbashy and should go to dark or light.
I am totally on my own with this?
Let me know what you think. |

my opinion: dark should be "evil races" and light "good races". Thus I think darkies should move on dark. |

Good point, if the fluff that is ongoing now should be complete. |

I agree with Sk8bcn. The "light" group should be for good races. Dwarves are "good" (though they kill as hell), so move them to the light group. And move darkies to the Evil group. |

every team can be bashy or rather have a strong emphasy on a cas-intensive game. i think various examples of pro elves and wood elves having a lot of DPs have proven that even those races can play a bashy style game. same goes for chaos teams (and other in general rather bashy teams) who dont have to choose claws or RSC at every double. therefore i dont see a totally fair possibilty to split the bashy and non-bashy teams for such a tournament.
and yes the possibility you mentioned hindsberg could solve this. but then again i think that a group admin who sorts the teams in two groups for this tournament would lead to even more problems. i.e.: why are my skaven with just one claw in dark and his pro elves with two DPs in light and so on. furthermore i think that this would be a lot of work for the group admin or whoever would do that - not just looking through the teams, but also handling all those people who dont agree with his decision.
all in all i think that the UI system isnt "fair" for a lot of teams - some will get an easier start, some will have it harder. but i also think, comparing the UI with other majors, that there isnt too much of a difference between having an unfavorable group for your team in UI (dark or light) or having bad luck with the seeding in another major tournament.
and after all judging from my experience from major ITs it will be a lot of pre-tourneypicking in the IRC too. i.e.: if you see that there are busko, deathgerbil and naama (and a few others with teams like them) hanging around waiting for an IT to start, you might want to wait for the next IT. same goes for light btw i just used this as a more obvious example. |

I heard Naama talking about his chaos team RhazgulĀ“s Judgement should play in the light qualifier because they were absolutely non bashy!

About bashiness: Skaven can get claw and rsc and very often do. Thus they can't really complain about being in the Dark group.
About teams in light and dark: High Elves hate dwarfs and think they are evil. Dark elves pose as other elves to get an easy qualifier (hey, it's not like they have ID cards, or that Dark Elves have never posed as non-dark elves before...).
In my opinion any split-up into two distinct groups would cause a fuss for one reason or another, but this one is the one we're using. |

Light: every race except chaos
Dark: Chaos

I would prefere to have dark races such as Dark Elfs in Dark Qualis(in that Case skaven deserve to be there too) but anyway lets take it as it is. Looking forward to the Cup;-) |

As far as I'm concerned all other races are "evil" (ie they think they are better than us).
Go humans! |
