Maybe its the lack of a cut that ensures evryone turns up?

The thinking is probably; the smaller the field the higher the quality of the competition. The underlying pricinciple of the WCG is to get the best players in the world together. I think number of players is desigh to add to the "exclusivity" of the event.
