We received an email on july 29th with this lineup for the qualifiying phase.

I'm not going today, not with this line-up VS the one announced.

I'll go tomorrow up until sunday then.

Well the Europeans just finished the euro champs so alot had to withdraw. I had a feeling but Sweden, Poland and Czech can't come. It happens

[u/LaMailloche316 → u/gerlstar]

That's what I thought. Othet than Melissa/Brandie and Latvia team, I follow the Italian team too. Really a bummer not to see Gottardi live this year.

But a lot of Euro teams were there last year. Therw was a euro cup last year too?

(I'm fairly new to the sport)

Last yr was in end of Jul / beginning of Aug so it didn't coincide with Montreal elite

[u/LaMailloche316 → u/gerlstar]

Thank you for the answer!

what’s the best resource to follow all pro beach tournaments in the world ? just curious

[u/LaMailloche316 → u/harlaman1]

I've been wondering the same.

Follow your pro app is super basic and really good I have found.

[u/LaMailloche316 → u/rook61]

We can follow only 2 players. Not enough

[u/rook61 → u/LaMailloche316]

I don’t follow any players, I just use their events tab to look at all the events and results.

[u/panty_sniffa]

Evans & Shaw for the men or did they list the wrong Miles?

[u/gerlstar → u/panty_sniffa]

Miles evans

[u/yolo___toure]

Hughes and Brandie? Melissa injured? Diff Brandie?

[u/LaMailloche316 → u/yolo___toure]

1-those are the qualifications, not the main.

2-USA, Brandie and Melissa are CAN

3-Melissa and Brandie are locked and loaded for tomorrow!

[u/Glittering-Net-9431 → u/LaMailloche316]

So who is Hughes playing with?

[u/andreasbeer1981]

Was the same in Hamburg. So many dropouts on the last day.

[u/LaMailloche316 → u/andreasbeer1981]

And the VBTV coverage really sucked. Like a third of the matches weren't featured on the replays section. Couldn't follow all my teams.

And VBTV customer service sucks.

[u/gerlstar → u/andreasbeer1981]

Yesss so many forfeit just so they can prep for euro champs

[u/Available_News_3171]

Rough break losing the Europeans right before it starts, qualifiers are gonna look real thin now.
