Hi @nitinsanker, @Prashanth, @Prakash, @Roamingrover86, @Fly_like_a_don, @Dolby, please find link of my first shot at podcasting. I interview couple of badminton enthusiasts who talk about meteoric rise of Indian badminton and Olympic qualification scenario. Hoping to have you on the platform for your valuable insights
Only 1 male player from had participated and no player from other South Asian countries in women's section. I guess this time it shall be a historic qualification for a South Asian country as well
Both men's and women's table tennis teams qualifies for 2024 Olympics
So contingent size swells to 58 in 9 sports

Now for the women's team rankings including Singles rankings. This is merely an indicator as obviously rankings changes for 40 x 3 players would be a mammoth exercise. 4 teams would qualify via rankings. So this is my rankings scenario

players would benefit from the WTT 2024 and each of the players would see a 20 pts rise thus increasing their individual ranking and also team ranking. misses out due to singles ranking as their No 2 player Shao Jieni has massive 175 points expiring in the next ranking cycle
Did a superficial analysis on Men's Team including Singles rankings, obviously rankings changes for 40 x 3 players would be a mammoth exercise. So this is my rankings scenario

Documentation of how ranking points of team tournaments are assigned to individual players. Look at 3.1.2.

Why would the SR get renewed. There is a calculation of how team points are distributed among individual players, but I don't understand it. Have you taken this into account and can you show the actual calculations
