What I'm getting at is - should we expect/do the WHBPC organisers issue an official allocation for non-America/Europe as a whole or by countries?
As far as Europe is concerned, might allocations be solely based on this year's EHBPC results or any other criteria than just being able to go/afford it etc?
What has happened Stateside in the past (2009/11), are there precedents?
Yes, the precedent is to do it by continent allocation, and NA and EU have filled their allocation from the top X teams from the continental championship.
That at least has been the case in the last 2 worlds.
But at the same time, the 2012 NA, and 2011 EU allocations weren't filled by the qualified teams, and anyone who wanted to go could.
Either way, the organisers haven't announced anything.
