heywoodu 13,499 Posted November 1, 2019 #164 Share Posted November 1, 2019 By the way, how come the Canadian women, who apparently 'have one of the best teams on the tour', didn't get to the World Cup at least the past five times?

Well, idiotic as it is, it doesn't exactly seem like they've been very smart then...Canadian federation definitely seems to be to blame for it (apart from this qualification system being utterly insane obviously).

Canadian federation doesn't invest any money in 3x3 at all. They literally don't care about it. Doesn't change the fact that Canada has the second best women's team in the world (which perhaps is a huge problem in and of itself - a country that literally invests nothing in 3x3 has a world class team). Still, they should not be punished because Canada doesn't have highly ranked players ranked 5th to 100th. It's a four person team, only the top four athletes should matter.

JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted November 1, 2019 #168 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Yeah, at the end of the day, everyone knew the rules (as dumb as they were) well in advance. The point was to create depth for the sport, oppose to nations only having four athletes each. Here's hoping for a 16-team tournament in the future with continental qualifiers so that the best can have an opportunity to qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
