Quota for  after they defeat  12-10 in the semifinals.

This pretty much means that         will fight for 3 spots. 1 of these 3 European teams will take the European quota and then the other two will have to defeat Canada to qualify.

it would be better if Italy or Greece qualified for Europe. because Hungary is much stronger and will have the best chance of beating Canada and Australia.

Continental qualification comes before the second World qualification. Which means that Australia will take the Oceania quota at the 2024 WCh no matter what. Unless somehow New Zealand take it from them, but that's almost impossible.

are you sure ? but if Australia finishes in the top 4 with the 3 countries already qualified? how does it happen ?

Australia will take the continental quota at the next WC.

 

And if they don't, I doubt they will be able to threaten for any other qualifying spot, because then they fared worse than New Zealand at the next WC.

I have a feeling it might come down to bracket placement, who can avoid the top teams the longest.

I don't think  have any chance against the European teams

 

however, yes, it would eventually come down to the bracket...a lucky draw might help and we could see some very unfair drama...

Second team !! 

[Vektor 3,326]

 wins against  and takes the 7th place. This pretty much proves that Canada is still very much in contention for the quota.
