Yes, the World Championship runs this deep. The lowest of the tournaments will be held in South Africa this year. Mongolia has pulled out due to financial concerns, despite already submitting a roster. While not 100% sure on remembering it, but I think there was talk about the United Arab Emirates joining the World Championship competition within the next few years.
Division III (Host: South Africa)
World Ranking:
35. Turkey
39. Israel
42. South Africa
44. Luxembourg
45. Greece
Predictions:
1 (Promoted) - Israel
2 (Promoted) - Turkey
3 - South Africa
4 - Luxembourg
5 - Greece
Flat out, this competition 99.999% of the time goes by the world ranking, but after comparing the Israeli and Turkish rosters, its hard not to go with Israel ending up in first. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing an upset or two, just to mix things up over more-then-likely 12-1 games.
