I have a few questions to ask here since I am unfamilar with this competition. Why do so many associations not even bother to enter a team? I do not see anything that says that some countries are banned from entry.

Then why do certain teams withdraw after one round or before playing a game? I know that one team lost its first leg match 10-1 and decided to quit rather than playing the next leg. I have never seen anything like that happening in the UEFA Champions League/ European Cup ever.
