Qualification System for the 2011 Pan American Games

  1. PASO has accepted 32 men and 32 women in the recurve division for the 2011 Pan American Games.
  1. Two tournaments will be used to qualify archers for the Games.
  1. The first tournament will be the Pan American Championships (Qualifying Tournament 1 / QT-1) to be held in Guadalajara, Mexico, on Oct 15-21, 2010.
  1. 28 places in each sex will be distributed at CQ-1, as follows:
    • The host country of the Pan American Games will win three places. (3)
    • The top seven teams in the Olympic Round Team Event will win three places each.  (21 places)
    • The top four individual archers from a separate Olympic Round Individual Event, in which only archers from countries which did not qualify their teams can take part (the team event will be shot before the individual round) will win a spot for their country.  One country can win a maximum of three archers per sex.
  1. The second tournament (QT – 2) will be held in 2011, as early as necessary to meet the deadline for preliminary registration established by the Organizing Committee of the Pan American Games.   Venue and dates will be decided by COPARCO Congress in Guadalajara 2010.
  1. If QT -2 is a world ranking event, a separate Olympic Round Competition will be held with those archers eligible to win a place for the Pan American Games.  This means that those archers who have already won places for their countries cannot compete here. 

 

  1. All countries which have not won three places yet in one sex can enter up to three archers in the separate Round in QT-2. 
  1. None of the archers who won spots for their country at QT -1 can participate in the separate OR competition for PAG spots at QT -2.
  1. The top four archers in the separate OR competition for PAG spots at QT-2 will win places for their country.
