has withdrawn from the baseball qualifiers because "they do not like the timing of the event" 

 

The qualifier groups

A:

B:  +1 tbd

 

A has 3 really good teams, while B only has one now

I'd argue Panama and Colombia are comparable with Nicaragua in terms of talent. Any reason why the Dominican Republic is not competing? That would help balance the groups a bit. If not, we are looking at Chile, Aruba or some Central American nation.

Canada, Brazil + USA were automatic

The other 5 were from the CAC games who did not qualify, which left DR as the only non-qualifier. Id imagine they will replace USA now.

And I don’t like the timing of snowstorms during my ski trip, but we don’t always get what we want USA Baseball.

Do you have a source for surfing?

 

No news so far in skateboarding, but it looks like it was a poorly attended qualification event (no Canada or USA).

 

Racquetball has awarded only two spots per gender so far, with Argentina and Bolivia each receiving two spots.

In track and field, the top finisher in each event (minus the relays, which are top two) at the South American and Central American and Caribbean Games along with the NACAC championships qualify automatically.

 

So that means:

+1

+1

+1 

 

+ more

 

Which leaves 4 teams left to qualify:

 

 Prediction: Will compete in just track and field + wild card in taekwondo

 Prediction: Will compete in just track and field + wild card in taekwondo

 Prediction: Will have a small team composed of many sports. 

Prediction: Smallest team of all countries.
