HEMITT cudnt agree with you more mate.
Believe it or not, Nexus had actually attended a fair old few events this year, some more successful than others, and as it stood BEFORE San Diego we had accumulated sufficient series points to be in a qualifying position for next year, only just but we were in. I think this is a major point that hasn't been covered yet and people are failing to see. We weren't like 30th place or something and had sod all chance of making it, the use of RL players was more of a fail safe in case we did another "Vegas" effort.
And guess what, all the other teams that haven't made it could have attended every event prior SD to try and accumulte those precious series points just the same as we did. Is it our fault that they didn't ??? oh, wait perhaps it is.
Pebble, if SD was the only event that any team could qualify at for next year and the previous events were just practise or training events building up to SD then I would totally agree with you that getting RL in for the only qualifying event would totally not be fair. You know what, all the other teams that haven't qualified have had all year to "sort their stuff out" and get these points the same as we had and we did.
Teams knock themselves out by not getting enough points throughout the year, not just at SD, not just by Nexus/RL at one event.
