I still find it a bit odd how the formats of the world championships and the leagues turned on their heads.
World championship - one off final to a season long campaign of total points.
Leagues - season long campaign of total points to a one off final.

i did have to s n I g g e r at the conversation during the World Cup last weekend:

Kelv: "Well let's do that then!"

They may or may not have had a suit made for him (it looked new to be fair) but I do know he didn't leave US until earliest Wednesday, possibly Thursday which would suggest to me it was a last minute decision to include him.
Becker was already in the first round as reserve so had his suit made. Broc has been wearing last year's WC suit (or the same design) all season in the states.
