So the back door tournament in December would qualify the other 3 or 4 teams.
I don't know what Canada would do? The Olympics trials are in November but can you really have an Olympic Trials without an Olympic spot?
Then if you decide they to send the Olympics Trials winner to the back door tournament, you're asking that team to peak three times and travel to three places. Saskatoon->Europe-> Beijing in a span of 3 months.

I assume that’s what you’d do. Olympic trials winner goes to that tournament to play the denmark’s and estonia’s of the world.
Hopefully no one needs to peak to qualify out of that tournament but still. It’s curling so I’d hope they can manage.
Top 6 not totally out of the question here. You play 13 games and Canada has 5 losses. Outside chance that 7-6 gets you into top 6 especially if China qualifies and it gets expanded by 1.
