Future opals WC and Olympic qualification

Will help to put the 12 best teams in the WC or Olympics.
Likely won't see 1 of 2 Africa, 1 of 4 Americas, 1 of 4 Asia teams make the final tournament instead of the guaranteed, 2, 4 and 4.
Should have stayed with 16 teams imo.

Meanwhile the men's WC goes from 24 to 32 teams.

Seems odd that you play the Asia cup in September 2019 (8 teams) and then replay the same 8 teams in November in Olympic qualification. Top 4 go through to next qualifying stage.

This guy should be in our 12-man team in London, ahead of Gibson + Martin yet he doesn't make the 25-man squad.

Can anyone shed some light?
