>I did not think quota places could be transferred, I thought
the shooter themselves had to win the quota by attendance
and attaining qualifying scores in nominated events.
Or am I misunderstanding the rules?
>The Wild Card system always confused me totally!
The ISSF Rule that governs the granting of quota places is as follows:
"Quota places are granted to the ISSF Member Federations (NOC) and not to
the athletes who obtained them". (A quota place is won with a Position not a
Score, these range from 1st only in the African Champs to first 6 in the
World Champs, which are only held every 4 years)
The "Wild Cards" are more complicated and range from those granted by the
President of the ISSF to countries without a quota place, to additional
places for the host country (see page 88 of the ISSF rule book)
Maximum total entries for the Olympic Pistol events are: Free Pistol 25,
Air Pistol 30, Rapid Fire Pistol 20, Ladies Sport Pistol 25 and Ladies Air
Pistol 30. The Total number of entries in all the shooting disciplines is
430.
In addition all Olympic competitors must have obtained a MQS is an ISSF
sanctioned event (MQS can be obtained in the Commonwealth Games). Quota
places, however, cannot be won at the Commonwealth Games as it is not a
"World" event.
Keep up the good work
