A good data point. The PGF selection process is Oz-like; especially in the period prior to qualifiers. In NorCal the teams offered berths are often very questionable. In some cases based entirely on relationships rather than performance. Furthermore, ultimate results at the championships depends too much on bracket selection rather than seed play. There are many good aspects to the PGF, however if they continue to undermine credibility w/marginal selections and too much reliance on luck at "the championship" they will find more teams attending other very well run national tourney's more.
