I played the ''Honda Invitational'' and tried to read the long explanation you made and frankly speaking I do not remember having read about the exclusion of some countries to play the tournement after having successfully earned the qualification.
I did it with the score of 55, if I do remember well, and won 2000 credits.
I thank you for the credits, but my will was to play the tournement and even if I did not understand due to my bad english, I could not play the tournement and think that it was really useless and also rude let people play and , after their qualification, write on the tournement that they are ''not elegible''.
I will write to Honda that this is not a good advertising fot them.
Best regards
