Netherlands are at 10th place, only first eight will be in final so it's impossible, I'm affraid.

Too bad, but that was to be expected. Nothing to be ashamed of for the team.

I'm nervous for Egypt. I want the team to stay in the top 24 so they can qualify for the next World Championships, but it is going to be next to impossible. Egypt is currently 24th with four teams to go.

Argentina is 23rd and I want the team to hang onto the top 24 as well, but it's going to be really tough.

Egypt will qualify anyway as best African team.

Is this a new rule? 

Edit: Never mind. The top 24 rule does not exist anymore, so yay!

For teams:
-The top three teams from the 2018 World Championships qualify to the Olympic Games. 
-The The top nine teams (not including those already qualified) from the 2019 World Championships will also advance, forming the 12 teams who will compete in the team event. 
*The 2019 Worlds will be open to all federations who wish to send a team, whereas currently the year before the Olympics only the top 24 teams from the previous year's Worlds are able to compete.

Yes, according to Tokyo 2020 qualification document if a continent doesn't have a team among top 24 at this World Championships edition, then the 1st place at next year's Continental Championships shall take 24th, 23rd or even 22nd position, as long as the continental championships are held before 2019 Worlds. If not then the best team of that continent at this year's world championships will represent said continent at 2019 World Championships.

That explains the doubts, thank you. For clarity, I never said you were wrong, I just wanted to know who was right  

 

Unfortunately that complicates situation of Polish team. Only one team of three can have a better place.
