Yeah the Canadian ladies last year was the biggest issue for myself too. I was thinking maybe having a higher TES min required for the 4th skater?
I personally think the small federations in terms of spots are in an okay spot, but they just have a harder time getting more because of how unfair the judging is sometimes and won't be solved by giving spots based off scores. Is there any case of an amazing high scoring smaller fed skater not being able to go to Worlds because of a lack of spots because I can't think of any at the top of my head right now.
For getting rid of the fed pull, I agree in some sense, but if the feds don't have control over who gets to go to their events, won't that make sponsors in their country unhappy? Figure skating I feel just doesn't have enough international events to do something like that.
