Hmmm. Well there were only 11 or 12 people in each round-robin, which is down from previous years I believe. Are you sure people were turned down? When one of our club members wanted to try last time, we just identified him as a prospect to Murao-sensei and he was able to go to the western round-robin.

I know there was at least one prospect, probably two, from McGill that did not get invited due to a lack of space (not myself obviously) so I figure he can't be the only one in the entire country. Since McGill isn't that big a club there were probably more prospects at other dojo. The JCCC in Toronto probably didn't send everyone who wanted to go.

The number of spaces available for the round-robin was pretty strictly adhered to here at least. Then again, the round-robin in Quebec didn't produce anything noteworthy so having more people participate would have been a waste of time. Murao-sensei was not impressed... After that display of kendo the CKF should limit the East to sending one representative to the National round-robin, instead of two: It's a waste of time anyway.
