I know there's already a thread about this in the News section, but I figured it'd be good to talk about it with other International players. POP posted the list of which countries get how many invites. Check it out:

I am absolutely thrilled to see the number of rating invites for Europe go from 4/6 to 20. It's so much better to know that a lot of people will now have a decent shot at an invite. I guess POP finally realised there are many many European players willing to pay their own flight. And Florida should be cheaper than Hawaii!
I was just wondering at the invite ratio for Nationals. It strikes me as a bit odd that we in the Netherlands get 4 per age group, while the UK and Finland for example get only 3. Why, do we have better/more players? Surely the answer is no to both those questions... So why do we get 4?
So here's a list of all the European countries with invites:
Austria 2 2 2
Belgium/Luxembourg 2 2 2
Czech Republic 2 2 2
Denmark 2 2 2
Finland 3 3 3
France 4 4 4
Germany 4 4 4
Italy 4 4 4
Malta 2 2 2
Netherlands 4 4 4
Norway 4 4 4
Portugal 2 2 2
Slovenia 2 2 2
Spain 2 2 2
Sweden 2 2 2
Switzerland 2 2 2
United Kingdom 3 3 3
Out of these, only Malta, Austria, and Slovenia will NOT have a paid trip, only the invites.
