:P I think it's even misinformation to say that it's just cameos; Achiga-hen will almost certainly "cross over" into the main series and become a proper sequel covering part of the main casts' debut into the nationals. We are only 5 chapters in, and Achiga is already at their quarterfinal match in the nationals (i.e. the same match that the main cast in the Saki manga is playing right now). Chronologically speaking, 5 chapters into the side-manga, the anime will already be at a point where they will logically have to "update" the main cast's progress. Frankly, I can't even imagine the "main" Saki story not being a significant part of the new anime unless it is single-cour.
People under the impression that Achiga-hen is/will be an "unrelated side-story" are definitely mistaken. Episode of Side-A is definitely connected to the main story, and all Saki fans should feel compelled to watch the anime.
