qualified to the Beach Volleyball Tournament at Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games and

confirmed their participation to the tournament.

Principle of 1st drawing of lots:

As currently there is no specific FIVB World ranking points system for the junior and youth beach

volleyball players, following principle will apply for the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games:

• #1: Host country

• #2: U19 WCHs winner

• #3-#7: Draw 1 between five (5) 1st ranked teams from Confederations

• #8-#12: Draw 2 between five (5) 2nd ranked teams from Confederations

• #13-#17: Draw 3 between five (5) 3rd ranked teams from Confederations

• #18 - #22: Draw 4 between five (5) 4th ranked teams from Confederations (if any)

• #23 - #27: Draw 5 between five (5) 5th ranked teams from Confederations (if any)

• #28 - #32: Draw 6 between five (5) Universality places

• In the case there are quota places reallocated from the continental qualification pathway

and/or Universality places, the available positions of respective draw(s) will be reduced

accordingly. And the teams reallocated will join in the Draw 6 with the universality

places. For example, the Draw 4 might be for seed #18 - #21, Draw 5 for seed #22 - #25,

Draw 6 for seed #26-#32.

• Maximum tow (2) teams from the same Confederation in the same pool. However, the

second team from the same Confederation can be drawn only at the last draw (Draw 6) .

• If an error is made, then the drawing will only be revised back to the point where the error

was made and not from the beginning of the draw.

In principle one warm up court will be dedicated to the men’s competition and another one to the

women’s competition. However, based on the daily match-up, the Organizing Committee may

generate on the daily bulletin a detailed schedule for the exact use of the two warm up courts.

Only competing athletes and duly accredited NOC Officials of the teams concerned will be allowed on

warm-up courts. When the team winning the first set will reach 15 points at the second set, or when

any of the competing teams will reach 10 points at the third set, teams will be escorted to their

competition area court, where they will wait for the completion of the previous match. Matches will

commence as per the published match schedule, unless the scheduled start time has passed. If this

will occur, the match will start ten (10) minutes after the conclusion of the previous match.

Teams will be escorted by their Athletes Service Attendant onto the competition court for the

commencement of the official eight-minute pre-match protocol, accessing the competition court from

the warm-up courts only via designated entry/ exit points. Both teams must be ready to march onto

the field of play at the latest when the 10 minutes protocol is ready to start.

Athletes must wear their official playing uniform at all times. Teams are required to deliver their

accreditation passes to Control Committee desk upon arrival at the competition court.

If a match finishes earlier than the scheduled match time and for the 1st match of a session, one or

both teams may enter the Match Court up to 20 minutes before the scheduled match time. This will

be coordinated by the FOP Supervisor and the FIVB Control Committee members. The official match

protocol (10 minutes) will start 10 minutes before the scheduled match start time.

If a match ends after the scheduled start time for the 10-minute match protocol, then the 10 minutes

match protocol will commence immediately after the previous match has concluded.

22. LATE ATHLETE REPLACEMENT (LAR) POLICY and LATE REALLOCATION

POLICY

22.1 Late Athlete Replacement (LAR)

This policy will apply to athletes of National Olympic Committees attending the Youth Olympic Games

Buenos Aires 2018 (YOG).

FIVB – 6.09.2018

The deadline for the Final Entries list of participating athletes in the Youth Olympic Games Buenos

Aires 2018 (sport entries deadline) is 23:59 Buenos Aires time (GMT-3) 31 August 2018.

After the sport entries deadline, where there are medical conditions preventing participation of an

athlete, proven Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) or other exceptional reasons, the IOC, after

consultation with the relevant International Federation (IF) and IOC medical expert (when deemed

appropriate by the IOC), may authorise a permanent replacement of an athlete by another athlete only

in the same sport and discipline and event.

This policy is only applicable for those sports/disciplines where the quota place has been allocated

to the NOC and not to an athlete by name.

Applicable sports: Diving, Swimming, Archery, Basketball 3x3, Canoe, Cycling, Equestrian, Futsal, Golf,

Gymnastics, Beach Handball, Hockey5s, Rowing, Rugby Sevens, Sailing, Shooting, Taekwondo,

Triathlon, Beach Volleyball, Weightlifting and Wrestling.

For those sports/disciplines in which the quota place is allocated by name to an athlete please refer to

the Buenos Aires 2018 Late Reallocation policy.

Late Athlete Replacement (LAR) is possible only provided that:

- The replacement athlete meets the eligibility conditions and qualification criteria to take part

in the YOG, as stipulated in the “Qualification Systems – Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires

2018” per sport/disciplines published in 2016, and regularly updated by the IOC on the

NOCnet;

- The NOC of the replacement athlete had applied successfully for accreditation for the athlete

prior to 24 May 2018 (accreditation application deadline). As such, the replacement athlete

has been registered by BAYOGOC in the “NOC's athlete Accreditation Long List”; and

- No doping control issues are pending concerning the replacement athlete

In addition, the procedure outlined below must be followed and the required forms submitted within

the timeframe stated in this policy.

- The “Late Athlete Replacement Form” and “Sport Entry Form” must be completed and a valid

medical certificate or supporting document for the replaced athlete must be submitted by the

relevant NOC, for the athlete being replaced and the replacement athlete using the eLAR tool

found in the YOMS Sport Entries module;

- The “Conditions of Participation” including the “Parental / Legal Guardian Acknowledgement

of Consent for Minors” form must be completed and submitted by the relevant NOC for the

replacement athlete. The NOC must submit a scanned copy of the “Conditions of Participation”

electronically and bring the original, signed and stamped to Youth Olympic Village Welcome

Centre – Accreditation Centre;

FIVB – 6.09.2018

The IOC and the relevant IF may make a LAR, subject to their joint consent and at their discretion.

It is important to note that BAYOGOC cannot guarantee should the replacement athlete require a

visa, that the application will be processed and approved in time for the scheduled departure of the

substituted athlete to Buenos Aires.

The latest a Late Athlete Replacement may occur and must complete no later than 23:59 GMT-3, 29

September 2018.

In exceptional cases, LAR may occur up to the time of the first Team Managers’ Meeting/Technical

Meeting for the relevant Sport/Discipline or at such other later time as the IOC and the relevant IF

agrees is deemed necessary.

In such cases, the NOC must contact the YOV Welcome Centre – Accreditation Centre in order to allow

for accreditation entitlements to be transferred from the withdrawn athlete to the substitute athlete

(subject to the permission of the IOC as referred to above). Following the transfer, the YOAC of the

substituted athlete shall be cancelled.

All documentation and queries regarding this matter should be addressed to BAYOGOC Accreditation

and Sports Entries. NOCs may submit a Late Athlete Replacement Application with all relevant

documentation by using the eLAR tool found in the YOMS Sport Entries module.

Applications with missing information will not be processed.

This policy is subject to further change by the IOC for exceptional circumstances.

22.2 Late Reallocation Policy

This policy describes action to be taken by the relevant International Federation (IF), International

Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee

(BAYOGOC) for the Youth Olympic Games (Buenos Aires 2018) in the event of a late reallocation of a

quota place.

FIVB – 6.09.2018

23. ACCREDITATIONS

All accredited participants of the Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018, except

Argentinian citizens, must possess a special entry visa type “24-H” to be able to enter the country

and participate in the event.

All participants who are not Argentinian citizens, registered in the accreditation system from 5 March

2018 to 24 May 2018, except international volunteers and contractors, are eligible to receive a Pre-

Valid Card (PVC). The PVC, presented together with the holders’ valid travel document at a port of

entry, acts as a special entry visa into Argentina and is valid for 90 days from the first day of arrival.

The PVC is valid as a special entry visa into Argentina until 18 October 2018. PVC holders must ensure

that their travel documents are valid until 18 April 2019. The valid travel document used to enter

Argentina must match the travel document information provided in the accreditation application.

A Pre-Valid Card (PVC) is a Youth Olympic Accreditation Card that has not yet been through the

Games time validation process. After a completion of the data verification, BAYOGOC Accreditation

will produce PVCs and send them to the IF headquarters before its accredited members leave for

Buenos Aires 20108 YOG. Presented together with the holder’s valid travel document at a port of

entry, the PVCs act as a special entry visa into Argentina.

Lost, Stolen or damage PVC

If a PVC is lost, stolen or damaged before or after entry in Argentina, IFs should inform the BAYOGOC

immediately so that the card can be cancelled in the system. The cancelled PVCs will no longer be valid

for entry into Argentina, even if the card is later found. Accredited clients without a PVC must request

an invitation letter from BAYOGOC to obtain the special entry visa type “24-H” and make their own

immigration arrangements at the nearest Argentinian Foreign Representation. BAYOGOC will confirm

the exact entry visa process and potential costs at a later stage.

Using the Pre-Valid Card as an entry document to Argentina

The Pre-Valid Card (PVC) will act as a special visa type “24-H” to enter Argentina. BAYOGOC, in

cooperation with the relevant Argentinian government authorities, will inform airline carriers and

airport representatives around the world about the PVCs and their function as an entry visa and its

importance for the participants travelling to Argentina for the Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos

Aires 2018.

Individuals using their PVCs as an entry visa to enter Argentina must ensure that the identification

documents are valid until at least 18 April 2019. The identification documents used to enter Argentina

must match the information provided on their accreditation applications.

Upon entry to Argentina, Pre-Valid Card holders must present a valid passport (or a valid government

issued photo identity document for Mercosur members) and a PVC.

Pre-Valid Card Validation When presented with a valid identification document at a Buenos Aires 2018 Accreditation Centre, the

PVC will be validated and become a Youth Olympic Accreditation Card (YOAC). PVCs must be validated

in person at one (1) of the locations outlined below to access any park and venue. An individual will

not be able to access any park and venue until he/she has completed the validation.

IF Presidents, Secretary Generals, Accompanying Associates, IF Associates, Athlete Role Models are

the applicants must follow the normal immigration procedures to apply for their entry visas to

Argentina. The purpose of accreditation is to identify and accredit persons that apply for participating

in the YOG and to issue them the Accreditation Cards and/or other additional access passes with

appropriate rights and entitlements ensuring them access to the YOG venues to perform their

29. CLOTHING, EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES

Concept

Beach Volleyball athletes compete in a beach and open air environment and are required to project a

healthy image to audience, media, partners, etc.

FIVB – 6.09.2018

Sun, sand and also sea (whenever applicable) are critical elements in every competition and forces to

be dealt with. In order to cope with a sunny and sandy environment, the FIVB has established uniforms'

standards which are featured in this document based on the recommendations of its medical advisors,

inputs of its athletes, advice of its officials. Please note that following information is based on the IOC

guidelines.

General Principles

An Authorised Identification may only be used in compliance with the terms of the Olympic Charter,

the present Guidelines or as further approved in writing by the IOC.

The IOC reserves the right to prohibit the use of any Authorised Identification on any given Item in

order to ensure the spirit of the principles of the Olympic Charter and these Guidelines are

respected.

Unless specifically mentioned otherwise hereinafter (in particular in the “Sport Specific

Implementation” section (please refer to the IOC Guidelines Regarding Authorised Identification)) or

unless otherwise indicated in writing by the IOC, the following general principles shall apply:

No use of any Identification of the Manufacturer may be made in a conspicuous way and no Item may

be used for advertising purposes. An Item is in particular considered to be used for advertising

purposes when the identification on such Item is not in relation to sport or is only featured or used for

the purpose of conspicuous exposure during the Youth Olympic Games.

No identification other than an Authorised Identification may appear on any Item.

Only one Identification of the Manufacturer per Item shall be permitted.

Where the Identification of the Manufacturer is not a Sports Brand, such identification shall not be

permitted, except for Clothing, for which the Identification of the Manufacturer may be that of a

Clothing Brand.

Participants must refrain from contributing to or participating in any conspicuous advertising within

Youth Olympic venues and sites, and in particular on the field of play.

The men and women athletes' uniforms should correspond to the guidelines herein indicated. These

guidelines are based on the IOC’s Guidelines regarding Authorized Identifications.

Guidance on Placement

No Authorised Identification may appear on the neck or the collar or on the body (e.g. tattoo) of any

person participating in the YOG.

No Identification of the Manufacturer may appear in combination with any other Authorised

Identification.

Authorised Identifications may not appear close or adjacent to each other, in order to avoid a

composite logo effect or a repetitive effect. This applies also in case of several layers of Items worn by

the same person or for one-piece body suits.

FIVB – 6.09.2018

Items That Must Remain Unbranded

Certain items, due in particular to their potential for abuse in the context of product placement or

advertising on the Field of Play (FOP), should at all times remain unbranded and/ or not feature any

Identification (by covering any existing Identification) if brought by the participant on the FOP or in

camera view. As a consequence, the following Items may not feature any Identification of the

Manufacturer: headphones, water bottles, umbrellas, towels, bandages, contact lenses, earplugs,

mouth guards and nose clips. This list is an exemplary and non-exhaustive list and may be amended

and completed by the IOC when necessary.

Third Party Identifications

No third party reference or name, including the names or nicknames of participants or any other

persons, designation, trademark, logo, URL, social media account, hashtags, corporate design or colour

scheme (including, but not limited to, those of sponsors, National Federations, public or governmental

authorities, and clubs) or any other distinctive sign (whether direct or indirect, such as QR codes or

barcodes) may appear on any Item.

No Item may feature any identification that relates to a product, service or in any other way does not

comply with the principles of the Olympic Charter.

The use of certain Authorised Identifications (such as IF Identifications, the Buenos Aires 2018 Emblem

or the Buenos Aires 2018 Wordmark) is limited and restricted to certain Items only and may not be

used otherwise as specifically indicated herein.

All Items must be those which are normally worn or used by a participant in the Youth Olympic Games.

NOC Emblems and National Identity

NOCs are encouraged to use their national colours, name, flag and emblems, as well as NOC Emblems

(hereinafter “National Identifications”), in order to visually enhance the national identity of their Items.

NOCs have the right to choose the National Identification(s) which will be used by their delegations on

Clothing (for instance, NOC emblem or national flag).

No Item may feature the wording or lyrics from national anthems, motivational words, public/ political

or religious messaging or slogans related to national identity.

NOCs, in particular the NOC of the country hosting the Youth Olympic Games (in the present case, the

Argentina Olympic Committee), may not use the “Look of the Games” in any way which creates

confusion between the BAYOGOC Workforce and the athletes and delegation officials of their national

Olympic Team.

International Federation Identifications

As per the Olympic Charter, IF Identifications are only authorised for use on uniforms worn by IF

officials; this includes all categories of IF staff as well as technical officials.

For Clothing worn by IF officials, one IF Identification per Item shall be permitted, with a maximum size

of 30cm2.

uniforms available (2 of each colour) for each athlete.

Opposing teams have to wear uniforms of clearly contrasting colours and to avoid the use of dominant

white colour as recommended by the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) and the FIVB. Before each
