Don't you think this qualification via the Nations Cup is quite a pervert thing? You have to have two fairly good times and one of them is sure NOT to go to Olympics even if they jointly win the competition. What incentive does it give the "weaker" duo to support the team performance? I could imagine a crate of beer they drink later together on the beach would not necessarily do for a motivation :D And what if there has been some past between the members of the two duos?

 

All in all I find it one of the most curious qualification processes ever;]

I loathe, loathe qualification systems where having more athletes than you're looking to qualify is an advantage.

 

Cycling suffers from this too in having the nation ranking be used to qualify individuals.

Why are there teams (nations) which are already qualified to Olympics?

Are there the same teams (same name)?

All nations can grab a 2nd quota through their respective continental Olympic Qualifiers (assuming they’ve already qualified one pairing through the Olympic Rankings)

 

Only rule is you can’t use pairings that have already qualified for Paris, otherwise you’ll probably be seeing Mol/Sørum for and Ehlers/Wickler for

Well, this one is for Czech Republic. Both Dutch teams didn't meet the national criteria, so I'm wondering why these teams participate in this Nations Cup final. NOC*NSF aks at least a top 5-finish at a Elite16-tournament. Both teams (Bröring/van Driel and Piersma/Bekhuis) are no longer able to meet that requirement. On both Elite16-tournament to come they are not even on the entrylist.

yeah, its a best of 5 tournament. In the first 2 matches, the n°1 duos of each country plays against the n°2 of the other, and in the final 2 matches, its 1vs1 and 2vs2. In case of a 2-2 tie, the n°1 duos of each country play a golden set to 15 points to define the winner.

Interesting how different confederation have different formats. NORCECA will be using one team per country.
