Because of cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic this was to be the first event to start the 2022 Winter Olympic Qualification process. The top 5 placing teams were to qualify directly for the 2022 Olympics, if the Chinese team finished outside the top 6 teams then the direct qualifications were to expand to the top 6 teams.[4] All teams that qualified for this event, but did't directly qualify for the Olympics through placement were to be guaranteed a spot at the 2022 Olympic Qualification event.
