@ losmanguis... I only gave those examples - im not saying they are the only countries with big scenes. Polo is growing fast, so I expect other countries to begin having big scenes soon.
My point is that if the euro finals works on only allowing the best teams in based on a country allocation process...then the countries with big scenes will need to hold some kind of country/city qualification tourney (like last year) to learn which teams will take spots. But inorder to keep the allocation process fair across countries where there are less or perhaps weaker teams, then a consolidated european qualies tourney could be considered as a way to confirm the remaining best team spots. As previously said, a city would have to step up to host that tourney.
My opinion is that both the worlds and euros should be tournies with the best teams along with a wild card tourney to keep things inclusive as well as give teams a second chance to qualify.
