Now that USA, Canada, and Mexico invites have been announced here, I thought that this would make an interesting topic.
Below I have added up all the invites that will be awarded for this years world championship, some of it I had to speculate on, but I think it is pretty close to what is going to happen. The single *ed countries are pure speculation and not fact

TOTALS
Juniors** 68+Japan + Grinder
Seniors** 68+Japan + Grinder
Masters** 62+Japan + Grinder
All the countries above are countries that have OP and are assigned to one of the 4 rating zones has listed here, with the exception of Japan who has their own invite structure.
*To my knowledge, the invites to be awarded for these nationals to top X amount of players has not been announced , the numbers I posted are pure speculation and not fact. I think someone said on another thread that nationals have already happened in some countries, if any one knows the exact number of invites awarded to any of the *ed countries please let me know and I will update the list.
*When I speculated on the invites to be awarded to the *ed countries I took into account what POP said about there being only 64 people per age category playing in each age division and figured that the worse case scenario is that each *ed country will get at least on at their national, assuming each country gets a national.
** After determining the number of invites to be awarded this tournament season you still have to take in to account age ups from winners of invites at last years World Championships. Below the letter “X” will refer to number of invites given out this tournament season. The “-4” refers to maximum number of people that each age group can lose due to age up. The “+4” refers to the maximum number of invites of each people can gain due to age up from a younger age category
Juniors = X-4
Seniors = X+4-4
Masters = X+4
