Actually, even with 40 slots available, I think you could easily get 40 forums wanting places and still turn some away.
If we are correct in our assumption about what Jon was saying, it"s possible for a team to get a single player to the FT with no others scoring points (my forum did exactly that this year IIRC).
While I""d be happy to come back on that basis, is it really fair that my team comes back on the basis of a single player?
As I said, uproar ensues!
There"s clearly no easy answer that will make everyone happy but I"m content, as I mentioned, for Des & Co to decide which teams he wants in THEIR comp.
