Doesnt the awarding of only points to the top eight placements at Other Events hurt International teams that won CPL Qualifiers and attended their events such as Japan, Chile and others?
Yes, this is an issue, unfortunately theres no solution to this issue. Teams attending those events may gain from some sort of points for attendance, but the issue for doing such a rule would be that countries such as the USA and Canada would gain even more in the example of the CPL Qualifiers. This would create an even more unbalance national rank where the host country of an Other Event would often receive a huge bonus because the sheer number of local teams attending the event.
