3. QUALIFICATION SYSTEM
3.1 Qualification Standard
Competitors are qualified who have gained FIS World Cup, Grand Prix or Continental Cup
points during the qualification period (July 2008 – 25 January 2010).
3.2 Host Nation
The host nation is expected to enter (a) competitor(s) or team into all events. If the host nation
has not earned at least one quota place based on the allocation of quotas described under
clause 3.3 one competitor per event will be permitted to enter in the individual Normal Hill and
Large Hill competitions and a team in the Team Event providing that the competitor(s) is (are)
qualified according to 3.1.
3.3 Allocation of Quotas
The allocation of quotas per NOC is based on the World Ranking List (WRL) comprising the
FIS World Cup and Grand Prix points, followed by the Continental Cup Standings from
seasons 2008/09 and 2009/10. The allocation will be made by assigning one quota place per
competitor from the top of the standings downwards. Once a NOC has achieved the maximum
number of five (5) quota places, the next eligible NOC on the World Ranking List (WRL)
followed by the Continental Cup list will be allocated a place until the total of 70 competitors is
reached (including 3.2 host nation).
3.3.1 After the allocation of 60 quota places has been made, in the event there are less than 12
NOCs with at least four competitors allocated quota places (and the NOC is entered for the
Team Competition), the next NOC(s) with three allocated quota places will be allocated an
additional quota place to enable the NOC to participate in the Team Competition. This
allocation will continue until there are 12 NOCs with four competitors and the NOCs
concerned enter the Team Competition. Thereafter, if there are any remaining places, they will
be allocated until the total of 70 competitors is reached.
