One small flaw with this (or not, depending on your view). How many
student teams are in existence over the summer? Not very many. After
the end of June almost every single student team folds until October,
so students couldn't qualify for the Nationals in this way. One
possible way around this is for the top 2 Student teams (decided at
National Student outdoors) to automatically qualify. The only problem
then is that all the other students loose out on the chance to play
some of the top teams at qualifiers, and learn from them, so defeating
the point of the current system.
