well tournament between countries is a good idea but the the outlay of tournament doesn't look good. players accumulating points through freerolls and then top 2 countries going, that just looks dumb.

It seems a very good idea, and can be a start to make what so many talk about for so long: rank best and worst poker playing countries. Perhaps pokerstars have prepared the following of this tourney, spreading it through the whole world. One day we will have the WSOOP (World Series of Online Poker), where the entrance is guaranteed by the best players of each country in the world with the best mark at a certain tourney (created just for this ocasion). Looks like an excelent idea to develop (too late for me to sell it to someone, at least offer me the possibility of entering the first time the event takes place for free)!
