Feel like we've had this discussion before. But the purpose of that system is to help ensure that the divers with the best shot at getting medals are the ones that get to go to the Olympics rather than allowing someone to go because they happened to have one really good day, or because one of their competitors just happened to have a bad day. It makes a certain kind of sense, but one must also acknowledge that it must suck to be an athlete who earns a spot for their country and then is passed over in favor of someone else.
