It used to go back much further (like 12 years), now it only goes back one tournament which does make some sense to me. For example the defending champs used to get automatic qualification, they don't anymore. They just get put into Pot 1, even if they qualified by the skin of their teeth. There has to be some pedigree, not just the hot team du jour.
