well that would depend on the academic calendar of the polytechnic teams IMHO. EG. SP has been on vacation since early this year. RP has a good consistent training regimen throughout the year. NP just concluded their exam week, so on and so forth. In addition, it is transition time for the poly's, seniors graduating and juniors receiving the reins. poly performance would indeed be one to look out for.
i would suppose it boils how they rise to the occasion ;p
nonetheless i believe the tertiary category would be interesting as there will be the JCs which would be on considerable form as A`div nationals are just around the corner.
cheers.
