Among the rumours I have heard concerning how many bids in which divisions Australia will be allocated and which teams are interested, a thought occurred to me.
We haven't yet reached critical mass in the player limit of Australian ultimate. There are no defined 'mixed' players and there are no defined 'opens' players.
The playmakers who dominate in Opens or Womens ultimate in the first half of the year, go on to dominate in the Mixed side of things six months later. This is all well and good (well, actually, it isn't, but that's another blog post) but it does leave some clubs in a bit of a pickle when it comes to competing in the World Ultimate Club Championships in the Czech Republic next year.
Where will Chilly be, if Gack plays for Vintage? (or vice versa)
What will happen to Kaboom if Max and Jonno play for Fyshwick?
What will happen to HoS if, say, Rueben and Owen play for the spookily mysterious second Victorian mixed team wishing to compete at Clubs?
Just something to think about.

Hey
From what I know:
No Chilly
No Gak
No Vintage
Only the mysterious Vic mixed team
Chilly briefly considered a masters team.
Are Fyshwick going? The Fyshwick and Kaboom leadership groups are the same people. I don't think both will go. I don't see Firestorm getting a team together. Only other possibilities are Fak and I-Beam.
Womens - QLD, some sort of Sydney contingent, possibly Honey/Box/combination (wouldn't put money on the third option)
Mixed - Kaboom, Hills, Smurf, some Vic team. Can't imagine any others forming.
Masters - Fear, something Sydney based...that's about it.
We may not need qualifiers.
Also I probably should start sniffing around for where I could slot into a team.
Newcastle have considered a mixed team.
HoS is getting preparations going.
Fakulti are testing the waters.
