There's no direct path from the consolation tournament to the world champs.

The best ranked continental team in the consolation tournament (i.e. the team that goes the furthest, for the Americas it's often getting to the 2nd or 3rd round of the playoffs, for Europe it basically means winning the consolation tournament) hosts the next season continental championship.
The winner and finalist of the continental championship go directly to the world champs, the semi finalists and 3rd place teams in the 2nd round group go to the repechage. In the repechage tournament, only the best team in groups of 4 goes to the world championship, the other 3 go to the consolation tournament first phase, but start with a 0-2 record as the other teams in the consolation already played 2 games by that point.
Every other team not listed here (i.e. placed 4th and below in the second round of the continental championship) go directly to the consolation tournament the next season.

Hope that clears things up!

And yes if you're not the best placed continental team in the consolation tournament, you get nothing. The only thing you can gain in the consolation tournament is hosting the next season continental champs, which can be the difference between winning it and finishing third or in the semi finals.

Great to know! Thank you so much for the info!

Hey Dude and Canada,

Great Job so far this year, Big next game. I can agree some of the communication seem to have come off toxic but I agree we should look past that and closer at your performance. As much as I like to scout young players I feel you are a great head coach and gets it done with what you have. I would rather see you run the team next than me. I would like to assist with Draft scouting and such but don't have time to run the team.

You also helped Kirk train to be a great U21 player (along with others) and I hope some other Canadian Managers can show some support. Also as I said if you win Home Court you have my vote.

Good Luck Next Monday.

This is what bb-mails are for, no need to stir things up in public

It's not a matter of privacy, it is because by posting it on the public forums you want to have a public argument with him. Nothing good can come from that, we've already seen that at the beginning of the season.
Let it go it's just a game, one player won't change anything and accept the fact that other people may have different opinions than you. It doesn't really matter if you're right or wrong here, people can play the game however they want
