The arguing over berth has been the topic since the PGF was announced. It has nothing to do with you stating how big the tournament has become.
If the tournament is as big and important as you say it is ( I know its a big tournament), then they will come back no matter the situation. Let the top 3 finishers from the previous national come back and make the rest qualify.
If they stop the back scratching invites, random "qualifying "invites, and random changes then the whole issue would go away.
