Except that one can't really do that, as much as I would like to. :p

One easily can: just don't watch it. They won't care, but I don't care that they don't care so there we go :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

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?

World Cup qualification is based on the same idiotic ranking.

 

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.

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.

Ah yes, I'm sure Mongolia is very deep in 3x3...
