That's an example of why CoP is a more fair scoring system (when it's actually the total points that counts), if used accurately. Why should the winner of a competition be decided upon a lower ranked skater/team withdrawing or not?

i not sure. it seems he is watching his words trying to make himself look/sound good for the olympics and make up for the flak about the world team event.

No, unless Chan has a time machine, the quotes that Mathman cited above could not have been a cunning attempt to "make up" for the post-WTT controversy.
The link that MM posted was for an article dated Mar 16 -- immediately after his three-peat at Worlds and long before WTT.

When will the skaters that are going to take part in the team event be announced? I know that definitely after nationals but is the deadline somehow regulated by ISU? Are the federations going to announce it the same day they announce all olympians? Sorry if this question has already been answered.

^^ In answer to Cherryy:

The day before the SPs or SD for the team event is the ISU deadline for federations to commit specific skaters to competing. (Whether any federation voluntarily will announce its team competitors at an earlier date is a separate question.)

If a NOC/ISU Member has 2 or 3 entries in an individual OWG competition/discipline then the NOC/ISU Member must declare the Skaters/Couples to compete in the Short Program/Short Dance of the Team Event latest at 10.00 hours (a.m.), local time on site of the OWG, the day before the beginning of the first Short Program/Short Dance of the Figure Skating Team Event. For the 5 Teams qualified for the Free Skating/Free Dance of the Figure Skating Team Event the NOC/ISU Member must declare the Skater/Couple competing for the Free Skating/Free Dance immediately (latest about 10 minutes) after the conclusion of the last Short Program/Short Dance of the Team Event in order to ensure that the Team composition of all Teams are known before the beginning of the Free Skating/Free Dance.​

The trouble is that men get more points than anyone else. If it just went by points, a top man could score 300 points and it wouldn't matter what anyone did.
