Talk:2017 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship

format
has anyone been able to find the format details for this tournament? The schedule indicates a round of 16 with a single draw for tie-breakers, so with 5 groups (3 qualifiers from each group is normal) how will the 16th playoff qualifier be established?18abruce (talk) 01:22, 21 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Oddly enough, I couldn't find anything. Might be worth emailing the WCF (I've done so before, and got a response): info@worldcurling.org -- Earl Andrew - talk 01:42, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I will give that a shot, thank you.18abruce (talk) 15:32, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I received a reply: the top three in each group, and then the fourth placed team with the best dsc.18abruce (talk) 21:47, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Not even the 4th place team with the better record? -- Earl Andrew - talk 22:43, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, maybe because not all of the groups have the same number of teams. -- Earl Andrew - talk 22:44, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
