What are Korea's odds? They're fine for men and ladies but I'm not sure they've got the pairs and dance teams to be able to get there?
Also need to point out, no country is technically eliminated on that list until after the Nebelhorn trophy next fall. In order to qualify, you have to either get spots (24 for singles, 16 for pairs, 19 for dance) at the world championships (until the quotas run out), or at Nebelhorn (6 for singles, 4 for pairs, 5 for dance), and you must obtain at least 2 spots at those two events, since you are awarded one additional spot if you qualify for the team event without a full team. Realistically, there is probably a list of several countries fighting for the last few spots.
But the worlds championships are very important, as they help determine grand prix assignments (by world ranking), etc...
I'm trying to figure out minimum placement - so where Brendan, Kailani/Brooklee, Katia and Harley et al need to finish at Worlds. This is very confusing because it depends on the number of spots that the other countries have? Beyond confused now.
What happpens if there are less than 10 countries with spots in 3 disciplines?
