Finals (Best-of-7 Series)
 
Game #6, Sunday, April 21st, 3 p.m. CET, Tuesday, April 23rd, 7.30 p.m. CET, Esbjerg Energy vs SønderjyskE  3-4 (0-2, 3-1, 0-1)

Actually that's correct, if they do that, that opens a can of worms. but wait a minute, the same organization modified 87kg World Championship final result just few months ago  wasn't that against Article 53?  
 
I checked the nationality of the refs. the center ref from Ukraine and the challenge guy (the famous Cicioglu of Turkey) received the biggest ban until the end of 2024, they will miss the Olympics. the judge from Iraq will be banned til September and will miss Paris as well.
the Mat Chairman (from Russia) and the other two guys reviewing the challenge (from Tunisia and USA) will be banned only for 2 months. 

They are making Chamizo #1 seed for the last chance qualifier, somehow to make up for this 
 
I took a look at the entry list and I think it's not that bad for him. at least he will avoid both #2 and #3 seeds Salkaznov and Demirtas. (that can change if China sends a different wrestler who has a better seed than both of these guys)
 
Salkazanov is the worst possible matchup for Chamizo. not facing him is the best news for the Italian

Our GM Miroslav Šatan confirmed to the press this morning the arrival of all 5 above mentioned guys. All 5 will join the camp next week
(It is questionable if they will play already next week preparation game against Poland or they will play only the last test match before the departure to the worlds against USA though)
 
Huge thanks to all 5 of them whom without any questions immediatelly accepted the invitations
 
Juraj Slafkovský (Montreal) Šimon Nemec (New Jersey) Tomáš Tatar (Seattle)

Martin Pospíšil (Calgary) and Pavol Regenda (Anaheim NHL/San Diego AHL)

 
We are apparently still expecting to add also some 5 max 6 other names to the final roster
 
(we have a couple of guys in the Czech extraliga final, the likes of Hudáček, Daňo, Roman, Čacho and Hrehorčák for Třinec and in Pardubice Paulovič, not so sure about Pánik being aired by our staff though but especially the defencer Čerešňák we absolutely will need him after the injury of Marinčin in this series earlier)
in our Extraliga final maybe 1 or 2 names can be considered to offer them a try in the camp,
and obviously in North-America (The NHL Play-offs where we have 2 guys we would really want to have in the team, defencers Martin Fehérváry and Erik "Drago" Černák, both are currently losing 0-1 in their respective series with their Washington and Tampa against NY Rangers and Florida),
plus there still the AHL Play-Offs which are strating right now, where we have 9 players involved, in case of eventual early exits there room to invite somebody to join the team as well
