Oh right! Thanks!

Why doesn't USA participate? If they feel the standard is too low they could send a development side like Canada. It will help their development players and also help the players from other countries to play against opposition of a much higher standard.

Barbados is also out yet they took part in the Olympic qualifier last year.

St Vincent, St Lucia and Guadeloupe are other past participants in NAWIRA/NACRA that are absent.
