So you took CUB out of the Olympic games.
Anyhow, I'll take CUB out of the top 3 if Chinese Taipei beats them in the WOQT. A defeat to TPE gives a possibility of being defeated by the rest of the teams that they are going to play still.
Still optimistic that CUB will perform good here....:)
Thanks.
Actually it was just my guess on the rules since it is not specified somewhere in the WOQT site.
If Japan continues to be in top 3, then another Asian team is possible to be included via the AVC slot.
But i hope CUB will be in the top 3....:)
Actually in the COQT in Japan right now gives 4 tickets to Olympics for the top 3 teams and the best Asian team.
If among the top 3 is an Asian team, the highest ranked Asian team in the top 3 becomes the best Asian team and the next 3 tickets will now go to next 3 tops teams.
For Example:
Final ranking:
1. RUSSIA
2. JAPAN
3. CUBA
4. KOREA
5. SERBIA
- JPN is included in the top 3, hence, JPN will automatically become the best Asian team and will get the AVC slot.
- the other 3 tickets goes to RUS, CUB and KOR being the next highest teams in the final results ranking.
However, if the result will be something like this:
Final ranking:
1. RUSSIA
2. CUBA
3. SERBIA
4. JAPAN
5. KOREA
- first 3 tickets goes to the top 3 and JPN will also qualify as the best Asian team.
Or if this way (which is unlikely to happen based on the 2nd day results):
Final ranking:
1. JAPAN
2. KOREA
3. THAILAND
4. CHINESE TAIPEI
5. RUSSIA
6. CUBA
- JPN qualifies as best Asian team
- KOR, THA and TPE also qualifies as the next top 3 teams in the tournament.
In other words, Non Asian teams needs to be in the top 3 to secure an OG ticket. Whereas, Asian teams have more advantages because if one or more team is able to land in the top 3, more chances are given to the other Asian teams as long these Asian teams have a minimum ranking of 4th place. The Asians actually have two chances - get the Asian slot and earn a slot via the World qualification (be among the top 3)
