I don't know anything about the HWS/IDEA round robin, but I'm a bit curious as to how the Australian BP Championship has found its way onto the list.
ReplyDeleteThe 'Australian BP Championship' is actually a name occasionally given to Sydney mini and not a recognised national championship as such. BP minis in Australia tend to vary in their significance. For example, last year Sydney mini was only the fourth largest BP intervarsity tournament in Australia, behind Melbourne mini, UTS mini and ANU mini.
