Source for qualification

Although there is no direct source available regarding which countries qualify athletes the qualification system is public (I linked it, from New Zealand's Olympic comity's website), so once the results are known its a mater of simple math to figure out who qualifies.

This is the second time the same user has made the same undo's based on the thought that it's unpublished. Let me make this clear - Original research requires original thought. Taking a system of classification that is public knowledge and applying it directly to something do not constitute original research. For instance, leap years occur every four years. Therefore saying that the year 2204 is a leap year is not original research because it is merely logical extension, even if no direct source specifically states it to be the case.Chazerizer (talk) 22:28, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is unpublished speculation, not routine calculations. This is a high profile article. It deserves a high standard of quality. The article can wait the amount of time it takes to track down a real source that states which countries have qualified. Kolindigo (talk) 02:14, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, speculation would be predicting who would win the spots before they happen. This is the same as predicting that two plus two equals four. Arguments to the contrary simply do not make it so.71.182.150.8 (talk) 04:54, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Point System - Rule 378/2

The rules in question state that a team that finishes higher than 16th place shall be awarded 16 points (in any discipline), and a team that does not make the free dance or free skate shall be awarded 18 points. Additionally, a team that does not make the original dance portion of ice dancing shall be awarded 20 points, though that doesn't enter into anything here.

Great Britain's score for ice dancing, then is 7th place (7 points) plus 23rd place (16 points) for a total of 23 points and 2 qualifying places.Chazerizer (talk) 20:25, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point out where that is? I saned the qualification rules and I didn't see it anywhere. Fox334 (talk) 10:48, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the qualifying system - the top of the second page says that it's according to that particular rule (378/2). That rule is located on page 30 of the pdf for the rules (also linked at the bottom of the page. Chazerizer (talk) 22:04, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
