A team based beta for Quake Wars?

According to Voodoo Extreme id opened up team based testing of Quake Wars for active clans who compete. I contacted people I know to see if I can get entrance for myself and a friend via some back alley door that smells of cat piss and used heroin vials but I really doubt anything will come of it.

What I don't quite understand right now is why is the testing limited to teams only? Shouldn't a game that will be sold to the general public include lesser mortals who don't quite grasp the concept of teamwork immediately? In other words, why no love for the noobs? The way I see it that will be the majority of people who will play this game and hopefully give it a long fruitful life. Heck, how many of us were really bad at RtCW before getting the grasp of things and the same for Enemy Territory?

Hopefully Splash will open the testing further as release date gets closer.
