Agree with Oc. Hate to bang the same old drum again.......but. In the Vic Titles we had twelve competitors in the Over 40s all from Vico, NSW 16, Qld 16. The breakdown for the Aussie Titles is 2 from NSW, 2 from Qld and one from everywhere else. Why!!! When Qld is only fielding 16 in the Over 40s and some of those are from NSW, why is Vico getting shafted? And yep I do have a vested interest as I finished second in the 40s by .25 of a point. I also finished 3rd in the open and will be at Port Mac to compete, but at the ripe old age of 52, why the f..k can't I compete against someone who isn't young enough to be my Grandson!

In the 40+ if there is 2 each from QLD & NSW 1 each from VIC , SA, WA & TAS that's only 7 , how does that work ? even if it was 2 from each state it's only 12.

I'd do that count again Rob.

As for this discussion of Over 40s and and qualification spots, it's an excellent topic for a new thread. Perhaps leave this one for discussion on QLD titles?

Thanks Woody 8

The Qld'ers have the strongest hold on sup, but alot choose not to compete.

That's true and that's why people don't enter , it's a $60 t-shirt , if there wasn't an over 40's I certainly wouldn't waste my time in open to get knocked out in my first heat. Even the 40's is tuff I'll be scratching to get through.
