- Continental YOG Qualification Event
If a quota place allocated 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 to the next best-ranked NOC not yet qualified, from the respective Continental YOG Qualification Event.
For teams who qualified through the Confederation Qualification Pathway that do not meet the criteria of the Qualification System and therefore not granted with full quota of five (5) teams per gender, the following principle will be applied:
- If the Confederation does not organise a Continental Youth Championship (or a Continental Youth Tour) or Continental YOG Qualification tournaments, all its 5 quotas will be reallocated to the other Confederations meeting the criteria as per section
- If the Confederation can only secure the participation of 40% (including) – 50% of its affiliated NFs, it will lose one quota place per gender and such quota will be reallocated to the other Confederations meeting the criteria
- If the Confederation can only secure the participation of 30% (including) – 40% of its affiliated NFs, it will lose 2 quota places per gender and such quotas will be reallocated to the other Confederations meeting the criteria
- If the Confederation can only secure the participation of 20% (including) – 30% of its affiliated NFs, it will lose 3 quota places per gender and such quotas will be reallocated to the other Confederations meeting the criteria
- If the Confederation can only secure the participation of 10% (including) – 20% of its affiliated NFs, it will lose 4 quota places per gender and such quotas will be reallocated to the other Confederations meeting the criteria
The unused quotas will be reallocated to other Confederations that have more than 50% participating NOCs/NFs.
- The Confederation with the highest ratio of participating affiliated NFs will have priority in obtaining the reallocation of unused quotas.
- In case several Confederations have the same ratio of participating affiliated NFs, the Confederation with the biggest number of participating affiliated NFs will have priority in obtaining the reallocation of unused quotas.
