Actually there is no limit, there is a threshold of skill (minimum times to compete). Countries do get an initial 'free pass' in the event someone doesn't make the threshold, but anyone worldwide who makes that threshold at a registered event will receive an invite. (though not all have the resources or capability to attend)

More foreigners doesn't instantly = more views. More GOOD foreigners most definitely would though.
