Was it poor risk management (i.e. short sighted) or lack of transparency that players (and viewers) were not aware what would happen if someone could not go? Even the knowledge before hand would make this decision appear more fair as players could prepare accordingly.
I actually had raised the question, if any European players would be on standby list in case someone can't make it. What if another player misses out because of travel issues even closer to the start of the tourney? Is it going to be 11 players only? Or is someone else going to be on stand by? I hope the organizers think about this.
