Is this confirmed as it doesn't tie in with my interpretation of the qualification document.

 

Although Italy is auto qualified as host, I think they still get awarded the qualifying points from the world champs. The qualification document says if Italy don't qualifying in the top eight of the discipline, then they qualify automatically through the allocation of host quotas and only the top 7 from the rankings would qualify - so to me, that implies that Italy should be counted in the ranking. 

 

Ignore me - see you haven't awarded the 10 points

I believe you’re right actually. Might’ve changed since then, but according to prior editions the host-nation was included in the rankings. I’ll edit it.

I think you've got the ranking points right it's just the placings that had me confused.
