THANK YOU very much....
Can you comment if the cutoff will vary by age group?

Ok, the full doc with all the info (and trust me, there's a bunch of changes incoming) isn't ready yet. That should be up pretty soon, but I just talked w/ Dave and he's fine with me announcing the following:
Next years World Championship invites will not be based on a Top X system. There will be a cutoff. Everyone with more points than the cutoff will make the list. No one will bump anyone off, no one getting an invite via points will prevent anyone else from getting an invite from points.
No other info is ready at this time, this includes point adjustments, the cutoff, etc. Wait for the doc!

He already said here.
This news is... AMAZING.
Seriously, this gets rid of so many problems. People in this thread are arguing that they're bumping other good players out of the Top 40. Well, now, it doesn't even matter. Plus it gives players a more defined goal to look forward to, something which I really like. FANTASTIC decision.

Its worse under ELO or the 2011 system. In 2010 nats, I walked in knowing that the only way I could get my invite was by going 5-0 drop or better. It wasn't set in stone, but my math told me it was that way... ELO pressured players into not losing which is much worse than pressuring players into winning.Wow, a cutoff. I cant imagine the now probable scenario for several players where they walk into Nationals knowing they need a certain result. No pressure! lol

my best guess would be 40 CP with the removal of CP from Battle Road and a reduction in the value of Citys.
