Men's Handball CAHB African Championship 2020

[LDOG 2,477]

I just noticed that North America has only one place for Wch, while South America has 4. I'm absolutely sure Cuba, Greenland and USA are all stronger than the 4th team from South America, let alone Gabon or Cabo Verde (one will qualify). Also Iran/Korea are much stronger than anyone in Africa below the 4 semifinalists.

 

Ridiculous....

additional quotas for top 12 in previous World Champs, +9 for Europe, +2 for Africa and +1 for South America

 

 

Madness.

Yeah, they've massively overestimated the depth of non-European continents. The number between compulsory places and additional quotas should be flipped, as in...

 

World Champ - 1

Host Nation - 1

Africa - 2

Asia - 2

Europe - 2

Pan American - 2 (or 1 for each if they still want to have the split)

Oceania  - 1 (should they meet the minimum qualification)

Wild Card - 1

 

And then take the top 20 from the previous competition's results. It's a bit weird as only 24 teams participated last year, but it'll make more sense in future editions.

 

Basically the quota distribution for 2021 using my method would be...

 

Africa - 4 + 1 Host

Asia - 4

Europe - 15 + 1 World Champ

Pan America - 5 (4 South America + 1 North America/Caribbean)

Oceania - 1 (Should they meet minimum qualification)

Wild Card - 1

 

Not sure why they want to split Pan America. It may have made sense when there was only 24 teams as Argentina/Brazil/Chile were ahead of the rest of the continent, but after that the two regions are a lot more comparable (with an advantage to North America/Caribbean) and more often than not the continent should have at least 4 teams at each edition.
