Miami qualifying round for the Nintendo World Championships 2017 won’t be rescheduled

Nintendo says that “the two remaining spots in the tournament will instead be filled by selecting the participants from other regions with the best non-qualifying times.” It’s unfortunate, but there’s not much that can be done in this sort of situation.
