Qualification

[edit]

With this being the first Grand Slam of the new Olympic quadrennial, the qualification process was different than the rest of the Slams with 12 open invites being sent out. The four remaining spots were chosen through the newly create GSOC Satellite Event series. The winners of four select tour events received the final invitations to the Co-op Invitational. In the event that the winning team was already qualified, the next highest finishing team at the event was invited until the spot was filled.[2]
