heywoodu 13,504 Posted December 11, 2021 #13 Share Posted December 11, 2021 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 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted December 15, 2021 #14 Share Posted December 15, 2021 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.

NearPup 2,095 Posted December 16, 2021 #17 Share Posted December 16, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,715 Posted December 16, 2021 #18 Share Posted December 16, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,095 Posted December 16, 2021 #20 Share Posted December 16, 2021 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
