left menu – Olympic Games) and inform the respective NOCs of their allocated quota places. The NOCs will
then have two (2) weeks to confirm if they wish to use these quota places, as detailed in paragraph H.
Qualification Timeline.
F. REALLOCATION OF UNUSED QUOTA PLACES
REALLOCATION OF UNUSED QUALIFICATION PLACES
If an allocated quota place is not confirmed by the NOC by the confirmation of quota place deadline or is
declined by the NOC, the quota place will be reallocated in the same weight category to the NOC of the next
best ranked athlete, not yet qualified, in the qualification event where the quota place was obtained, and
respecting the maximum quota of one (1) athlete per NOC per event.
REALLOCATION OF UNUSED HOST COUNTRY PLACES
For each place obtained by the Host Country through the qualification phases or not used by the Host
Country, the corresponding number of Host Country places will be reallocated by the Tripartite Commission.
The number of Host Country places reallocated by the Tripartite Commission may not be higher than four
(4).
REALLOCATION OF UNUSED TRIPARTITE COMMISSION INVITATION PLACES

reallocate it to the next best ranked NOC/NF at the 2015 Senior World Championship across all events
which has not qualified any quota place for the 2016 Olympic Games. In case of a tie, the NOC who scored
the most Technical Points will get the quota place.
