Quota Allocation
THE CHALLENGE
In recent years, the CAT member federations
want to send more athletes to the
PANAM GAMES than the 250 permitted by PASO.
The allocation of participation
spaces has created problems for the Organizing
Committee and Technical
Delegate in allocating the participant spaces
to the federations.
THE SOLUTION
Adopt a participation quota system similar to
that of the Olympic Games offering
all member federations the opportunity to
participate at the PAG on a fair and
equitable basis and still remain within the
limitations established by ODEPA.
Starting next year, the procedure to
participate in Toronto 2015, will be as
follows:
QUOTAS
• Quotas will be awarded at
the South American Games Santiago, the Caribbean
Games Veracruz and the CAT Championships
Guadalajara. All quota qualifying
events will be conducted in 2014. Wild Card
Quotas will be awarded by the CAT
President December 15, 2014.
• An athlete may earn only
one quota.
• Quotas will be awarded
according to place finishes in CAT Championship events
according to the number of Quotas allocated to
that event. At the South
American and Caribbean Games a quota will be
awarded to the gold medalist in
each of the 15 Olympic events. If the event
winner has earned a Pan Am quota,
that participation quota will pass to the next
eligible athlete in that event. Quotas
will be awarded in the sequence of the events
conducted.
• CAT Championship rifle
quotas for men will be awarded in the event sequence:
Prone, Air Rifle, Three Position. Women’s
rifle quotas will be awarded in air rifle
followed by 3x20. Pistol quotas will be
awarded in the event sequence: 25
meter, 50 meter and 10 meter for men and 10m
followed by 25m for women.
There is no award sequence for the shotgun
discipline.
• Quotas will be awarded to
the member federation's NOC who will coordinate
PAG entries with the CAT member federation.
• Athletes entered in PAG
Quota places may enter other PAG events thus
allowing for double and triple starters with a
maximum of two starts in each
event.
• Quotas may be used in any
discipline event, but may not be transferred to
another discipline such as pistol to rifle
(example: the federation may reassign a
men’s skeet quota to women’s trap). This
protects discipline integrity and
recognizes that countries may have separate
rifle/pistol and shotgun federations.
• Upon application by the
NOC and endorsed by the member federation, Wild
Card quota applications will be reviewed and
awarded by the CAT President.
Distribution priority will consider
federations who have not earned a PAG quota,
ISSF participation and performance criteria.
• Unused quotas must be
returned to the CAT President for redistribution 60 days
before the PAG opening ceremony.
• Allocations recognize
events with limited multiple starter possibilities: Rapid-Fire
Pistol, Trap, Skeet and Double Trap. Therefore
these events are awarded a
higher allocation of quotas.
• The Pan American Games
host country is eligible to earn competition quotas in
addition to the 15 designated host country
quotas (one per event) up to the 25
athlete maximum allowed.
• Federations may enter up
to 25 individuals providing a quota place has been
earned for each athlete.
• CAT events of Women
Prone, Standard Pistol and Center Fire Pistol may be
conducted at the CAT Championships. Any
participating competitor may
participate in these events. No quotas will be
awarded for these non-Olympic
events.
