If you're "the best", you defeat all comers.

If you don't, then you're not "the best".

Even if the Rules As Written give you the right to advance even though you didn't win, you're not "the best", you just played the Rules the best.

When The Rules include an arbitrary selection criteria where an unaccountable board chooses who competes, then you haven't proven you're the best, you've just proven you're the best of who was allowed to play.

The Ted Stevens Act is supposed to prevent that, but this process operates *just barely* within the letter of the law, without acknowledging the spirit of it at all.

First of all, just barely within is also the same thing as 100% within the law. You add a term for the sole purpose of trying to bias others views.

Second, you are 100% not a lawyer, so please don't try to play one here. If you think it is wrong or in violation, file a grievance with the USCA as per the Ted Stevens Act requires, or , or nothing will change. Or do you even have standing to file that grievance. Maybe you would know if you were actually a lawyer

Actually, I know that I do not have standing, as I am not an athlete eligible to compete in Olympic Competition for the United States of America in curling who has been denied an opportunity to compete for the national team due to arbitrary off ice rules. But nice try at the belittling argument.

As I said, the process is within the letter of the law, probably...but it is by no means within the spirit of Open Competition that is intended.

or you could just hold a playdown with the winning team representing your country as Canada does, but then again, how has that worked for Canada.

If you're assuming they're just going to ignore teams who aren't part of the program, track record does suggest otherwise.



The first four teams that qualified for the 2013 Olympic Trials qualified from the US National Championships (the first and second place teams at the 2012 and 2013 National Championships). They included teams that were not part of the program. They earned their way in. If the HPP adds another non-program team to the trials, no problem with that.
