Except that doing your rating per capita handicaps any large Country. That
would only be fair IF we could send a far larger team that was a per capita
percentage comparable to the other Countries, but it isn't. Our team would
have to be 100 times the size of Jamaica's to start out comparably, but
Jamaica was allowed to field the same size teams as the US.
