YES. i'm not sure how ACX was this year after prelims, but two years ago when they were IOC6, they were in 4th place after prelims, but didn't make it to finals because of the "only 3 teams per country" and then the team who was named 4th in the world was a team that was like 15th after prelims because they were international... very unfair.The issue is that providing one set of teams with an advantage in a competition means that you are, by definition, putting another set of teams at a disadvantage based on their address. Also, the 4th best team in the world should be able to have a better shot at getting 4th than the 10th best team.
