So which 33 are in?

According to a press release yesterday, 33 of the athletes who applied for the combine were accepted for the combine to be considered for the 16/16 HPP, along with 32 returning HPP athletes.

Supposedly, almost all of the 33 chosen "Competed in their National Championships and placed in the top half"...so that should narrow the list to determine....but...

Who's gonna be at the combine?

Supposedly, there are 55 athletes competing for 12 teams (48-60 athletes, depending upon deployment of 5ths...)...it's alledgedly 3 Men's, 3 Women's, 2 Junior Mens, and 2 Junior women's teams.

Just want to say I have a hunch that the three athletes whom did not finish in the top half of their respective national tournament are junior curlers and likely played the skip position on their team. As in most cases, the skip is the most experienced and/or skilled on the immature team.
