c) Qualification System

The PABC Executive Committee has approved the following procedures for the allocation of spots among PABC affiliated members for the Badminton competitions in the XVI Pan American Games:

INITIAL ALLOCATION

Criteria Men Women

Mexico, Host country 4 (four) 4 (four)

1st ranked country 4 (four) 4 (four)

2nd ranked country 4 (four) 4 (four)

3rd ranked country 4 (four) 4 (four)

4th ranked country 3 (three) 3 (three)




8th ranked country 2 (two) 2 (two)




Countries ranked 12 and below in rank order (Up to a limit of 44 men and 44 women)

1 (one) 1 (one)

Unranked countries drawn by lot (Up to a limit of 44 men and 44 women)

1 (one) 1 (one)



Country ranking is determined by adding up the points of the highest ranked player/team from each country in the women’s singles, women’s doubles, men’s singles, men’s doubles, and mixed doubles, (a maximum total from the five rankings) using the May 27, 2011 BWF World Ranking. The higher the number of total points, the higher the country ranking.

The allocation is by country not by individual athlete. Each NOC can choose its own procedure to select its competitor(s) for the Badminton competition. To be entered, each competitor must also be eligible to participate in the XVI Pan American Games Guadalajara 2011.

Since country rankings will be determined on May 27, 2011, this will give countries plenty of time to improve their World Ranking, thus potentially increasing the number of players from that country.

Depending on the number of countries that actually enter players in the XVI Pan American Games, PABC has the right to adjust the participation levels up (where there are less than forty-four (44) entries per gender in the Initial Allocation) or down (where there are more than forty-four (44) entries per gender in the Initial Allocation) to reach the athlete quota, that is, forty-four (44) men and forty-four (44) women.

Countries shall confirm their interest in taking the allocated slots to PABC by June 15, 2011. In case the quota of forty-four (44) men and forty-four (44) women is not reached through the Initial Allocation, additional slots will be allocated as follows: Beginning with the 4th ranked country, having three (3) or less entries, each country, in rank order, will be allowed to enter one (1) additional man and/or woman until the quota is fulfilled or all countries have been offered an additional slot, whichever comes first. If the quota is still not reached, then the process will repeat itself until the quota is complete, with a limit of four (4) men and four (4) women entries for each country.
