There is also the chance, some teams didn't bother to qualify, and can go to div 2 play sandbagger style.
I don't think that’s fair for the div 2 costumer teams, or even to the teams that want and can play in higher divisions but simply didn't play the full Series the two past seasons.
But that’s just me thinking.
For example, any US team that wants to come over and play has to play in div2, thats plain ridicule at least.
Even PSP had the courtesy to arrange for an Open division at World Cup, and mix the Div 1 (top teams not committed to play in the NXL) with all the teams that wanted to play good and equivalent teams, and not sandbag in div 2 or div 3.
