TO DO for this chapter,
as of 2/25/16:

-- 1. Is there anything between Dubai World Cup in March and Dubai Sevens in December? ..


-- 2. In this entire time period (2009 through 2015, but also consider 1999 through 2009), what are the tournaments that are not part of the World Series of Sevens? (men from 1999, and then women from 2012)? --

-- a. First would be the World Cup Sevens (men in 2001, 2005, 2009 and 2013; women in 2009 and 2013 - both at same venue, same time as men? - yes for 2009, will have to check for 2013 --
-- b. Next would be any tournament that is not a part of this process ... I don't know what that would be ... Ask Al, Alex re men / Jules? Chris? re women. --
-- c. Continue entering all tournaments, m&w, into spreadsheet that I've started (but need to find it first :( ... ) --


(-- 1515 is WRWC7 in Dubai 2009 --)

-- 4. make sure that, when the US started participating in both as a core team, that we show that.  I.e. find out when that happened and if we attended all tournaments after that
    -- a.    do the same for the women - check my assumption that they were always core teams.

(-- WHERE?  I think Moscow - check and update - was this both m&w? --) (1503)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@

--- Check this out and work with it // Changes to core team qualifying (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%9314_IRB_Sevens_World_Series )

First, only one promotion place was available for the 2014–15 series. Also, the World Series Pre-Qualifier, which was a 12-team tournament contested as part of the 2013 Hong Kong Sevens, was folded into the Core Team Qualifier, which involved 12 teams and was entirely contested at the Hong Kong Sevens. The bottom-placed core team at the end of the season will now be automatically relegated, with no opportunity to retain core status.[2]

On 9 October 2013, the IRB announced significant changes to the promotion/relegation process.
