Does anyone know the selection criteria for the 3 women who are playing the 14.1 world championships?
I can understand selecting Lee and Ouschan (sp?). But I'm unsure of Minerich's (sp?) qualifications (no disrespect to her).
And how about other top 14.1 female players from around the world: Shin Mei Liu, Allison Fisher, Helena Thornfeldt, etc... Why were some of these women not invited? Or were they and just declined?
Finally, how was it determined that only 3 female players would play? Why not 4, 7, or 12 (please not the randomness of these numbers)? Was it Dragon Promotions who made this decision (I'm guessing)? 3 just seems like an odd number and that makes adding them in very strange, in my opinion.
I'm just curious if anyone out there knows this information.
