They never answered as to what would happen if Canada literally doesn't have 12 people qualify by the end. Will they auto-forfeit however matches per day where they don't have a participant? I guess they will probably get the 12 they need by the end - months left after all, though still so silly that that is occurring, particularly the stat you mentioned.
I can only hope that this is the final indicator to them that this format has to change in some manner - having a competition where one of the teams is struggling to even achieve a full roster, well ... I don't need to reiterate, it's been said before!
