Thank you very much! I'm totally lost with the WTT qualification system....
I feel relieved for France but sorry for South Korea.
It's official:
USA (9,331 points)
Japan (8,939 points)
Italy (6,195 points)
France (5,207 points)
Canada (4,992 points)
Georgia (4,495 points).
ISU announcement

ISU announcement
If they do have more senior skaters they kept them well hidden during the season and they can not bring juniors "their age must be within the limits specified in ISU Rule 108, paragraph 3", means only senior eligible skaters allowed at WTT.
Sure, if they meet the senior eligibility requirements, but neither of the Georgia juniors is senior age eligible. Konstantin is born 2007 but in December, so will be senior eligible only next season, Inga is 2009 baby.
ISU will either have to tweak their own rules, or Georgia will likely have to send an incomplete team. Also South Korea, who is next in line, would be unable to send complete team as they have no pair team.

Wow didn't expect France to rank so high, but I guess men's results at world championships helped.
The problem with Georgia is that is it quite an "artificial" team for now, they put a lot of efforts building a strong first team, bringing up competitive top athletes in each category (many of them coming from abroad), but behind these numbers one, there is almost no one (no matter their level) in Georgia and they didn't work on preparing decent numbers two (at least for the extra quotas they get at european and world championships with the good results of the first team).

I find it strange that points gained at Junior Worlds and Junior GP can be included by the best two skaters in each singles discipline, and yet skaters who are only age-eligible for juniors cannot actually be sent to the competition. Inga in particular will have contributed a fair bit towards Georgia's total score, given her high placement at Junior Worlds.
I think it’s because there is overlap in ages where some Jr can skate Sr

Indeed, qualifying a team at WTT is a consequence of that effort for OG, but not a goal for them.
But very lucrative for the skaters.

yes... and that's the only reason I still watch...
that and well.. skating but i am not into cheerleading and competing when the rules are made for one team in particular lol 
what would be fun would be this : 6 entries from 4 disciplines... in this case, Canada could opt to sent 2 dance teams, 2 pairs, 1 man and 1 woman... wouldn't that be fun ??? USA could decide to send 3 women, 1 man, 1 pairs, 1 dance team..

Fun and a solution to equalize things for teams which don't have enough skaters to enter in one specific category

Japan would send 3 men and 3 women and clean up—even though they also have the World champions in pairs, of course.yes... and that's the only reason I still watch...

But a neat idea, I like it

nope... I said, 6 entries across 4 disciplines, meaning 1 entry per discipline and then you do whatever you want with the other two.
Also, there is another incentive to NOT send all your entries in one discipline... in MY WTT , skaters could earn points based on ranking...
Not participating in a discipline would forfeit a chance at top points
and sending multiple athletes in one discipline means that unless they win all 3 top spots, they would lose a lot of points... It would be very fun. Just at worlds now, Japan didn't clean up singles as you know
Their only title was in pairs as a matter of fact Maybe make it one per discipline plus 2 extra in any discipline(s) you choose.yes... and that's the only reason I still watch...

Oh, I see from a later post that that is what you intended.
