After all, these people will be participating in the championship, so perhaps we need to come up with some other way to count, and here I agree with Kirill – the sooner, the better.
If we're going to use points, maybe we should count them differently?
For example, 3 or more CIS players – 3 points, 2 – 2 points, 1 – 1 point, and 0.5 points if they haven't participated in any. This would at least reduce the gap and possibly attract new faces who would see that their vote means something.
