With a 2nd at SA does she have any shot at the Final? I thought she had to win...and that won't happen barring a mid-comp WD by yuna
Theoretically, she does.
With 2nd placement at SA, Rachel gets 22 points(4-2)
Now this is a must - Rochette placing 3rd or less, when 3rd Rochette 22 pts(3-3)
.Zhang or Czisny 2nd - Rachel, Zhang/Czisny tied at 4-2, 22pts(higher total combined score goes to Final)
.Zhang or Czisny 3rd or less - Rachel to the Finals.
.Zhang or Czisny 1st - Zhang/Czisny goes to the Final. Rachel out.
Note : All is considered under Rochette placing 3rd or less.
and NOT considering Akiko placing below 5th(which is highly unlikely considering the SC ladies field)
If Rochette place 1st,
Kim, Ando, Rochette, Akiko, Leonova, Ashley goes to the Finals.
If Rochette place 2nd, and Zhang/Czisny 1st,
Kim, Ando, Zhang/Czisny, Akiko, Leonova, Rochette/Ashley(higher total score) goes to the Finals.
(again not considering Akiko below 5th)
If something's incorrect, please let me know.
Man.. this is complicated..
ETA : 1-4 beats 2-3 and 2-4 beats 3-3, am I right?
because if it doesn't, this whole post needs to be edited..
