\nEditor’s Note: <\/em>The ISC has updated the initial list of ISC and ISC II qualifiers for 2009. In this edition, updates from Canada East and US Central. Below is an edited version showing what we believe are ISC II qualifiers. For the complete list, see our brother blog the Morning Brief<\/a>. In the past, an ISC II team playing in an ISC-only qualifier would become eligible to receive an invite to the ToC if one becomes available. For the list of teams already qualified for the 2009 ToC, click here<\/a>.
