I can speculate with some knowledge. FTC in Mexico has an event in Mexico City and I think that there have been new events internationally as well. I saw some pics posted online from the event in Souel, South Korea earlier this winter. I am going on the assumption that the model is teams advance to FTC world championship via participating in a championship event. so short answer to question 1 is very likely a qualified yes.
Question two would have to be answered by FTC. factors that might be impacting this decision, space (pits being the largest bit of FTC space needs, how many days the event can be spaced to give teams an adequate number of plays, VOLUNTEER capacity, ...
