African Games 2019

@JoshMartini007 The Olympic Channel is also reporting Shooting as a qualification event. There was supposed to be quotas awarded in the shootgun events at the 2019 African Championships, but I think they may have been reallocated to this event.

Wikipedia still lists the October event as the qualification event and it hasn't changed on FEI, which are pretty good at keeping things updated.

Olympic Channel is also reporting on it like a qualifier, so who knows

Archery, canoeing, table tennis and tennis will be direct qualifiers. Athletics and swimming are eligible events to achieve the qualification time. Everything else I think offers world ranking points (not 100% sure on beach volleyball). Except handball, which either directly qualifies teams to the men's qualifier or offers ranking points which are then used to determine which teams will participate.

Karate will also give away “direct” births like at the European and Pan American Games

No changes from ISSF, the last time the qualification document was updated was July 9th so if there was a change it was pretty recent.

I think Morocco has a very good chance of finishing at least 2nd with this small SA contingent
