Been keeping an eye on the applications to the GLT and my gut is telling me that the stunty qualifier is going to go to the extremes.
Either we get under 4 teams to form up the qualifier OR it is a 16 team qualifier. No middle ground in this one. It will be interesting to see if the fans of stunty come out in force. |

Still hanging around the GLT HQ checking out the application process. And my gut is telling me something else.
The HIGH TV bracket is going to be a dicey thing this year. The teams that have a high TV who are inclined to jump in here to keep inducements low might be in for a suprise. I suspect those sneaky 1900-2000TV Elves are lurking and willing to take the chance to miss the cut so they can carry a free Wizard through the bracket.
The HIGH CR bracket might be the correct bracket to jump into if you are inducment paranoid. |

So draw getting nearer and I still can't decide a team bracket. What do people feel will be the cut off points? I'm thinking tv 185, games played 120 and coach rating 160, but what do others think? |

My thoughts are that I thought it was TW, not TV! I need to skill up some sauri and buy some fodder skinks tonight.
On that note, can we still play with a team that's already applied? Before the draw obviously. |

I'd say games played will be more like 60 or so. Your TV guess sounds about right to me, and I have no idea about CR.

Yes you can, but you need to be in 'ready to play' state at the time of the draw, or your team will not be included. |

I'm guessing everyone applying CR will make it.
TV 1850 sounds right, maybe as high as 1900.
Games is usually lower than expected. I'd say the outlier ends up at 75 or so. I think we had a pretty low one get in last year. |

Well based on the feed back Iam getting from the pulse of the coaches and teams. The GLT will fill to max. Forlorn will have 16 team brackets and everyone else will have 8.
The other thing that I have found is that for some reason coaches avoid the HIGH CR. They think that for some crazy reason CR means something, something really bad. You want bad? Jump into the High TV bracket and play the coaches who trully have high CR, they earned it by beating down chumps like you. My suggestion, enter HIGH CR and play against the inflated CR chumps. |

Some of us have been trying too hard to make a passing chaos pact team and no longer have the requisite CR to even be allowed in. 
(those clumsy, boneheaded jerks dropped my CR by about 10 all by themselves) |

Interesting news coming out of the GLT HQ today. Lord PurpleChest is hearing an appeals to the stunty qualifier. Some coach from the Border Princes is attempting to get a 2 ogre 14 snotling team entered into the qualifier. It will be interesting to see how that coach gets over the hurdle that he team is classified as an Ogre team.
He claims that his victory in the Border Land open last month entitles his entry into the GLT. When asked why he does not apply to any of the other qualifiers and his retort was: "are you freaking crazy? Its a 14 snot team?".
I did some fact checking and that team did win the Borderlands Open. They played against 2 all hobgoblin CD teams. 2 Flings with no trees and all thrall vamp team to take the Trophy. |

The High Princes have restocked their treasure chests, and set sail for the GLT from their resting camp where they have been licking their wounds over the winter. |
