Eric;
Your information is just a little off here.
Czech finished first an then china with Germany third and then russia fourth.
Czech vs. China in the 1-2 with winner advanced to Worlds.
Loser plays winner of the Germany Russia game for the final spot.
This is referenced from http://www.curlingpromo.cz/a_wwhcq.php, please make the adjustments.
The linked page mentioned by the anonymous poster gives 3 different listings of the final standings, depending on where you look on the page.
In selecting the one I put in my report, I assumed that the team with the 8-1 record would rank higher than the 3 teams at 7-2.
If the anonymous poster has direct information from Prague, I would appreciate their contacting me by email. Otherwise I will assume that their guess is as good as my guess, and we'll see who's right tomorrow and correct if necessary.
Anyone else care to guess? Or explain why the 8-1 team plays in the 3/4 game?
It is because of the verus record
If Team A finishes higher then team B but during the RR Team B beat Team A. Team B fiishes higher.
China beat Czch this morning and has won the Qualifiers.
Chris Daw has been working with China.
Not questioning you sir, just trying to help!
I welcome well-intentioned advice and corrections though in this instance it appears that the final standings were as I surmised if you look at the game line scores, in contradiction to the listings on the event website.
I'd welcome any details of Chris Daw's involvement with Team Canada.
