Why, of course they do, the Forlorn Races is the Special Thing about the GLT. ;-)
This should mean that everybody who meets the minimum requirements can play in the High TV or Old Teams. Which is good news I guess!
Keep up the good work. :-)

TV has proven to be super high, old has proven to be super old... so unless you make it in the quick bracket forlorn is pretty much the only shot commoners have..

Hardly Wreckage. Though in the new Swiss format, suddenly a TD is worth as much as a CAS? In my book Teachers of the True Teaching should lead after round one, not the necromantic team.

I'm not sure about what part you disagree with me. I can only speak of personal experience of the last years and can say I never had any shot at a spot in anything else than forlorn. Which is fine, forlorn is fun. (Ogres don't belong there.)

A 43 games old team made it to the old qualifier last year. A 1600TV team made it to the High TV qualifier (and I haven't checked further than the first qualifier). So yea, super old and super high...
Nonsense. :)

Last year High TV wasn't filled, only 31 entrants, and the lowest was a 9 game old CD team at 1590 TV. The year before there were 43 applications.
And yes, 43 games was the youngest team that made it into Old last year, from 41 applications. And there were 46 who applied the year before that.
With the prospect of 64 teams getting in this year, it seems unlikely that many (or any) will miss out. Wreckage is either very out of date, or is in a wibbly wobbly world of his own where he thinks 1590 TV is super-high. Or maybe he's just super-high himself...

c3p0 - wreckage is talking about getting into the qualifier in the first place. why are you ramblingly about TD and CAS?

I find it interesting that almost half the field in the Fastest To Apply groups would have been shoe in's of the Old Teams. Half the teams in the FTA groups has 75+ games in total and 3 of them have almost 35000 combined.

Because TD>CAS little pyttie
