An injury to a player (or multiple players for that matter) should not have any impact on whether or not a TEAM (according to webster a team is defined as a group of people working or playing together,especially as one side in a contest) is or is not selected into the tournament. That's just total bull. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the selection criteria, I don't think right after head-to-head competition comes healthiest team. If any team was not chosen because (or even slightly impacted by) an injury it would be a crime. Louie [log in to unmask]
