@Dragon says IOC claim that the ITF didn't has decided yet. -
Will tennis really have a team event instead of MX or it is just a mistake in the official document? No mention to it in the press realese, nor anything said by ITF... that seems strange -
As someone, who thinks ICC rankings are useless, I would be happy if they are not a criteria for qualification but I think they will have atleast 1 quota via rankings to ensure that the top 3 (India, England and Australia) don't miss out. -

I'm late to the thread and maybe someone else said this, but the minute I saw this, my reaction was Great, a second relay for men to muff the baton exchange. -

I don't like these convoluted mixed events. I mean, it is fine if there is a clear, not too weird format, but more and more silly mixed events are coming up just to have a 'mixed' event. I don't mind the format in Archery, Athletics (there the main problem is the schedule), Biathlon and Shooting (also not in freestyle Swimming but that one is not Olympic). Naturally also fine with MD in the Tennis sports. But all others are pretty convoluted already and there is just more to come. -

The problem is XD is a fun event, but its essentially a social event, and lags far behind the others both at Grand Slams and Olympics - no quotas of its own, very limited prize money - as the indivisual Olympic tennis has got more and more important, the top players have limited thhier doubles participation to the main M and W D. a team format, however, gets some fo that BJK/Davis cup magic, and because it'll b enovel, they can REALLY mess around with it - for example, a three set match could consists of MS first set, WS second and, if needed mixed doubles decider - light work load and quick competition. could play three matches a day if needed Would not be incredibly shocked if BOTH golf and tennis adopted a quickfire 'Olympic' format - Singles, singles, doubles - (In golf it would be 9 hole matchplay with sets replaced with 9 hole matches, and the order men's indi, women's indi, mixed foursome On Compound, nice to see it but odd too for GB - Ella Gibson is one of the outstanding shooters of her time, but GBR don't seem to have a male compound shooter worth a candle On voluntary team sports (Flag football, cricket, lacrosse) I smell a rankings heavy approach with continental rep limited to 3 - though they may be real sneaky with cricket and go host (USA), Euro 1(GBR), Oceania 1(Aus), Asia (1)(India) Africa 1(South Africa) and Final Qualifier 1, heavily loaded with Asia and West Indies individual teams, perhaps Ireland and New Zealand for the appearance of balance. The Iroquois question still unresolved. GBR would be a rankings pick in everything bar men's flag football Wonder about the Team gymnastics - Super quick fire high peril format maybe of just one gymnast per apparatus, with the floor and vault reserved to the women so each sex provide only 4 scores - would make it feel different to the existing team events, and make USA a less guaranteed gold. Qualifiation by highest score in overall Q in each event - even if that score comes from same athlete in multiple events
