Round 1 Summary - No surprises

As a player in 2011, I can tell you the main reason european countries don't want 2 separate divisions.
Players spend almost 5000$ to come from europe for the competition, which is 2 or 3 months salary for most of them, so they want something special. They don't come to play Finland or India, they really want to play the best, New Zealand, PNG...
Even if they're surprised by the gap between the top nations and their country, most of them don't regret it and will realize how they have to work hard to improve when they go back home.

Having said that, I also think the 2011 format was really good, with having a taste of the top nations, before playing the 2nd division.

Sorry for my poor English, but I think it needed to be said
