Yes, no one has qualified on the men's side for the Olympics, whoever wins this will still have to go qualify for the Olypmics via one of the qualification routes.

That's fascinating that for the men's side, the winners of this may not even go to the Olympics!

Stage 2: No upsets on the men's side. On the women's side, Hannah Song advances over Jessica Reyes-Lai!

Does Hugo Calederano have to play in Pan Am qualifier or is he given direct entry  ?

Did the U.S Men lose to Canada to qualify or did the disqualification in Busan cause the team from qualifying?

Also if I remember correctly, even if US had not been DQ’ed in Busan, they would have needed to reach final 8 to get an Olympic quota, and their bracket had China in their way to the top 8 (had they taken England’s place if I didn’t remember wrong).

Nikhil just beat Jishan in semi and Barbara on the broadcast said that means Nikhil will go to Peru. But isn't that premature if not incorrect?  Even if assuming the outcome where Jishan will beat Xiang Jing and win 3rd place today, and assuming Nikhil loses to Kanak in the final later, that would mean Jishan and Nikhil would tie in total points (sat and sun) and split the 2 head-to-head matches, then a play-off match should be played between them according to the trials prospectus to decide the tiebreak / who places 2nd, no? 

Only if Nikhil beats Kanak in today's final can you say he will definitely go to Peru (as he'd get more points than Jishan two days combined), isn't that right?

Don’t recall the draw for KAZ and their path to top 8

I think after they realized that all the fanfare was in the two semis between 2nd and 3rd place, the other matches were no longer interesting.
