PGF allocates berths to qualifiers to make sure the number of berths doesn't exceed the number of teams they can handle at Nats, BTW, the number of teams entered at a qualifier doesn't necessarily indicate how many teams are PGF-level.
As far as the 8 invites, they all seem to be very solid so I have no issue with that.
Are you referring to the 8 teams that were invited months ago or the 8 that just received at-large berths?
Some of the at-large berths are used to compensate for qualifiers that deserved additional berths.
