We will have only USA and Canada at North American qualification.

 

North and South America should be merged in table tennis. Maybe with similar system to Asia where one quota is guaranteed for both North and South American while the other 7 quotas are contested between everyone else.

Totally agree... I mean, the quotas in women's are already defined: one will go to USA (Yue WU qualified in the Pan American Games) with the other two going to Canada.

 

The only real contest here is to determine if USA or CANADA will get 2 participants in men's and get the regional spot in the respective team event.

There will only be two quotas available in women's table tennis since we used one for the Pan Am Games.

 

Technically Bermuda and US Virgin Islands can compete in North America too.

 

That probably won’t happen without objection from both North and Latin America. Neither continent will want to lose their team quota, but the more pressing issue is that we wouldn’t be guaranteed to keep the nine individual quotas given to both continents.

American Lily Zhang qualified yesterday. Interesting to note that she competed at Summer Olympics in London, two years later she competed at Youth Summer Olympics in Nanjing and now she is going to Rio. :d
