Exciting  qualifiers for the women. Two of the europesn medalists incl. The Champions, and Two of the 2018 olympic medalist nations are here and only two spots to play for in this adult toy controversial event some countries stopped the broadcast in the mixed doubles after then realised an adult toy company was a sponsor

Apparently there has been a whole deal about the main sponsor of the event....EasyToys, one of the main shops for sex toys. Eventually their logo has even been removed, most likely due to pressure from the international federation. One can only assume prude Americans played a role in this  

 

Makes me think of this

 

Spoiler

 

Edit: Apparently it was mentioned here already, hadn't noticed, sorry  But yeah, the only problems are coming from people who aren't able to see that it's nothing more than a company selling perfectly legal products, surprisingly

South Korea & Japan qualified out of the round robin for the four team play-off.  The winner of the Round Robin gets an auto Q for Beijing, then 2-4 must play-off in a curling Cage Match of Death!!! For the remaining two places.

bizarrely won against the top three teams ( ) and lost to everyone else.

 

Anyway, three way tie at the top, qualifies for the Olympics due to having a better DCS (bleh). and will play-off for the second Olympic spot, the loser of that game will play-off against for the final Olympic spot.

 

The number of NOCs is now final at 14, one up from Pyeongchang.

 qualify for the Olympics by 6.88cm!  

 

To the uninitiated. There's three teams with a 6-2 record.

 

 beat 

 beat 

 beat 

 

So all three teams absolutely tied. 

 

In that case only, the result is decided on a measured throw which all teams must make before the Round Robin starts.

 

If it had been a simple two way tie, the result would be decided on the result of the matches between the two teams.

And Korea lost the direct spot on the worlds on DSC also

DSC is one of the worst tie-breaker in sports and I absolutely hate it. Especially now that they have eliminated tie-breakers in International curling...
