I'm not sure about it, but the person who did the draw ceremony mumbled something like that. The men's tournament has quarter finals and semi finals for sure.

 

I'm reading that there will be quarterfinals for the women, still trying to find something more official.

Hungarian media report that there will be QFs. So this is a bad draw for us, because we will have to defeat Netherlands or Italy for the Olympics in the SF.

FINA once again fails to confirm anything. Ugh, arguably the worst federation out there.

 and  in the same poule at the Olympic Qualification tournament. In the end only 10 teams are participating (Africa and South America withdrew), therefore there will be only a round robin. Both poule winners qualify for the Olympics. Not very happy with this draw, against Italy in Italy.

Weird, you'd think they would have had at least a semi-final match

both men and women's tournaments have the same format: preliminary groups, then the top 4 in each group advance to quarterfinals, QTFs winners advance to semifnals and there will be also placement finals...

 

women's tournament has 2 quota up for grabs, men's tournament has 3...

 

 

this is the full draw of the women's tournament (Triest, ITA, March 8th - March 15th)

 

Group A

 

Italy

Netherlands

France

Slovakia

TBD (Asia #2)

 

Group B

Greece

Israel

New Zealand

TBD (Asia #1)

Well, let's just hope that we will do the same thing that we did in women's Table Tennis, and we will steal the quota from the OQT host.

how come they know there will be 2 Asian countries interested to participate ? I think only China and Kazakhstan will participate at the Asian qualifiers and one of them (China) will qualify from Asia.

South Africa will use their continental quota in both genders?

I mean, I am more afraid of Netherlands, we barely beat them at the Euros in Budapest. Italy on the other hand didn't look so strong at the ECh, but maybe they will improve for the OQT.

According to Wikipedia, are also interested.

 

I have doubts about Korea (as anyone might), but Uzbekistan participating would be feasible.
