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.

I'm pretty sure you don't get "invited" but instead just ask the head sensei of your dojo if you can enter. I'm from the west but I seriously doubt that anybody would be disallowed to try out UNLESS their sensei didn't give him/her the okay.

If you weren't allowed to try out because of too many people applying there would be no point. The team would be chosen on the basis of "first come, first served".

cheers!
