women's tiebreakers edit

the way the standings are presented appear (to me) to be disingenius. I mean that it shows USA, SUI, RUS, and KOR all tied (true), but highlighting them in green seems to imply that they all still have a chance to advance which is not true. Since RUS and KOR were eliminated from being able to win the tournament I am going to un-highlight them, but I don't know if (and how) the detail of their tie-breaking game should be retitled.18abruce (talk) 19:28, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

That's not how it works. Those teams advanced to the tiebreakers, so the colouring is accurate. Think about if from the perspective of the future, and not the present. -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:14, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Russia and Korea absolutely did not advance to the tiebreakers, colouring them the same is misleading. They played a tie-breaking game but only to decide placement in the final standings, apparently the loser is relegated to a qualifier event along with the 3 teams below. The tie-breaking rules follow the WCF rule book (p.51-2) but I don't quite get the relegation news from their website.18abruce (talk) 21:44, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Oh weird, I hadn't realized that. Sorry. This seems rather unfair, considering the four teams had the same records. -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:47, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
No worries at all, same thing happened in the european championships, it is a significant change. The relegation explanation dosen't match their rule book at all so I don't know what is really happening there.18abruce (talk) 21:50, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Qualification edit

Should there be a qualification section? Maybe a paragraph about the finishers qualifying for next years event? --Coppercanuck (talk) 03:40, 16 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
