Distribution of Quota Places by Nations -

QUALIFICATION SYSTEM – GAMES OF THE XXXI OLYMPIAD – RIO 2016

Now that the Quota Places have been distributed, a total of 363,  we selected some information’s about the final procedures for the knowledge of the NOCs and Federation’s how will the Tri Partite Commission handle with the invitation of the 24 Places and also the reallocation of the unused Quotas by the host country.

TRIPARTITE COMMISSION INVITATION PLACES 24

Tripartite Commission Invitation Places are available to eligible NOCs for the Shooting events in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. On date tbc, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will contact all NOCs that are eligible to apply for Tripartite Commission Invitation Places. The IOC will invite all eligible NOCs to submit requests for Tripartite Commission Invitation Places not later than (date TBC). The Tripartite Commission will confirm, in writing, the allocation of invitation places to the relevant NOCs after the end of the qualification period for the concerned sport, but not later than (date TBC).

REALLOCATION OF UNUSED HOST COUNTRY PLACES

Unused Host Country Place(s) will be reallocated to the NOC(s) with the highest number of MQS athletes, that has not yet obtained a quota place or been granted a Tripartite Commission Invitation Place for the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games. In case of several NOCs share the same number of MQS athletes, the NOC with more MQS results will decide the tie. The reallocation of quota places is not linked to the event or gender of the returned quota place. All reallocated quota places are given to the NOC and not to a specific athlete.

An NOC/ISSF Member Federation may request to change a maximum of one (1) quota place in one (1) event for one (1) quota place in any other event if available and if the NOC does not have the maximum number of quota places for that event. Applications for quota place changes must be received by the ISSF not later than 25 April 2016.
