Talk:2021 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship

Play-offs
I read the report from WorldCurling.org multiple times (https://worldcurling.org/2021/05/wmdcc2021-preview/), and I am still a little confused how the 7th and 8th place teams will be determined in the Play-offs if only the top 3 from each group make the play-offs. I am sure this will be clear soon, but can someone explain it to me? Edwyth (talk) 05:51, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see anything on that page that would indicate an 8 team playoff. My understanding is that it is a 6 team playoff, the top 3 from each pool with the top team from each getting a bye to the semifinals. Then at the bottom you have the 10th placed team in each group getting relegated to the qualification event next year, and the next 2 lowest teams (8th and 9th in the pool) have to play the teams from the other pool with the losers getting relegated as well. So 4 teams will get relegated. A202985 (talk) 21:55, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * A202985 Thanks for trying to explain it, what I was and am confused about about isn't the 7th or 8th place of each group but rather the 7th or 8th place overall as the top 7 team qualify for the olympics and the 8th place only gets in if China is already in the top 7 teams. I added a something to the key about "Teams to Olympic Qualification Round" and if it turns out to be an unnecessary distinction it can be removed. Edwyth (talk) 23:17, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, I understand now, that's a very good question. A202985 (talk) 00:42, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
