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.

you put too many awesome women players in and one just might win and boy that would piss some people off, so I guess 3 seemed safe.
 
women 14.1 players

As for megan it was a case of simple old charlie patronage. Just like taking meraglio to korea several times or miyuki playing in the patriot cup. What about picking former womens world champions such as lorre jon, ewa or belinda? with a monopoly you get to do exactly as you want.
