Thank you, @SamuraiK, and also for the correction about China, which didn't have a third competitor.
I look forward to seeing how this plays out for 2022, especially if they keep the Pairs field up to 20 in the FS: all teams (19) made the FS in 2019, where 16/28 Pairs made the cut in 2018. The SP cut-off in 2018 was 63.26, and #17's SP score was 61.48. That would have been 12th in 2019, where there was no pressure to make the FS cut skated under the +5/-% GOE system and with a marginal .1 higher in max base for L4 of the prescribed spin, death spiral, and lift types in 2019.
If there had been 20 in the FS in 2017, then the US and Germany would have earned two each from Helsinki, with Hase/Seegert (19) and Denney/Frazier (20) in the FS (along with Japan and Austria), and France, Germany, and China would have been eligible to earn a second or third at Nebelhorn, unless 16-20 skated blinders in the FS and knocked the Knierims to 11th or below or James/Cipres and the Knierims to 11th and 13th or below.
