I do think that USASF should follow the guidelines they put out..if they say there will be residency requirements then yes they should follow through. However I can see them, at least for this season, not following that because of the rule being announced at the wrong time. Just like the plan is, whether we like it or not, to take the top three times per country. That's the ideal situation played out in the rule book but what do you do when it's your company that screws up? Do you say " to bad so sad Blink sorry to make your day and all but you're actually not moving on " or do you make the ethical and fair decision of " hey our judges screwed up on something, Wildcats brought that to our attention, they were unjustly scored, and they should have been in the top three so lets avoid bigger controversy and just take four, "
Also I highly doubt that unless the same exact circumstances or a tie happened that Canada will being represented by four teams tomorrow too.
