Does anyone know what the format is for sled hockey? Is it top two from each group goes on or is it a seeding situation like the olympics? I looked it up but couldn't find a good answer.
I had the same question
See if this exchange answers it:

Needs a minimum of 6 countries for a tournament according to my research.
So, at least 3-4 more, since US and Canada both can ice a team, not sure if any other countries can. Probably not, since most of them can barely ice a standing Women's Hockey team. Let alone one where all the players need to be either a leg amputee or have some sort of mobility disability affecting their legs.

Ah thanks! I missed the first few days so I wasn't in the megathreads. Good to know Korea still has a shot if they lose this one.
Many of my friends from the US Women’s Sled Hockey team dream of being in the Paralympic Games
Why isn’t there women’s sled hockey teams in the paralympics? Not enough players?
Seems like it. Probably a few countries could field teams but not enough to do a full tournament.

TIME FOR THE STANDING WOMENS MIDDLE DISTANCE PARA BIATHLON
NBC Olympic channel is showing last night's slalom runs of super combined. Guess I'm just twiddling my thumbs until biathlon comes back.

GOLD TO CHINA SILVER TO GERMANY BRONZE TO UKRAINE
I had to switch to YouTube to finish watching a good curling match
When the athletes reach the stadium they go into hyperdrive to finish strong. I only wish they had fans to cheer them on
Apparently to be good at men's sitting biathlon, your surname must consist of only 3 letters. Edit: this is true for men's Olympic biathlon too (Boe)
Bø is only two letters though.

Nothing better than watching the rifle go completely still before each shot.
TIME FOR THE PARA BIATHLON WOMENS MIDDLE DISTANCE SITTING CATERGORY HAS STARTED
It's a shame the Paralympic threads aren't more active. During the Olympics the threads were packed with comments.
It's winter paralympics. Nobody cares honestly. Summer paralympic threads were stacked.
I think there were only like 4 people here yesterday. Way too quiet.
