Nope. That's team discipline for you.

Games at the last World Clubs were much shorter and >I don't think we need as many players as we used to. The larger team (OK, up to a point, where health and ability kicks in) that we take to WUCC, the more likely we all are to survive the event, and the more able we are to have a training session, or go to a tournament quite shortly after we get back... Some of the US clubs use WUCC as a selection event for squad that they want to take to US Nationals... so their view may differ to ours.
