Which cracks me up, because elsewhere it says,

Following each qualification event, the ISU will publish an official communication on its website (www.isu.org)
and inform the respective NOCs of their allocated quota places within two (2) weeks of the date on which the
quota place was confirmed. The NOCs will then have 14 days / two (2) weeks to confirm if they wish to use
these quota places. Please refer to section G. Qualification Timeline for detailed information.
The Qualified NOCs/ISU Members for the Team Event will be officially informed by the ISU Secretariat
shortly after the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in December 2017 and must enter their
skaters/couples by respecting the entry deadlines applicable for the 2018 OWG.

One would think that meant that the NOCs would have had to inform the ISU 28 days after Helsinki Worlds if they were going to use the spots earned there.

Which, of course, does not take injury, splits, citizenship, etc. into consideration.

I believe the spots earned at Worlds had to be confirmed earlier and that the October 30th deadline is for the Nebelhorn spots.

Considering that we were about to recommend Gailhaguet for sainthood for letting everyone know before Nebelhorn that he wasn't using two Pairs spots, I don't think this is common knowledge.
