I read the rule as saying that a nation is allowed one entry per gender. Especially due to point b.

It looks more like that all nation will be granted 1 spot. If a nation had already qualified at least one athlete but only in one gender, they will receive their quota for the other gender. It is like a kind of “meritocratic” spot, if you see it referred to the NOCs

3x3 ranking... strange ranking, with Andorra and Mongolia very High. Uhmm Andorra and Mongolia.. not so strong. Then...

on what is based 3x3 ranking? Wait. I don' belive. It is based on individual ranking. Why? Ok, not by international tournament. But individual ranking? Incredible. From FIBA site: "The 3x3 Federation Ranking not only rewards the elite performances of the players but also the 3x3 activity in the territory of each National Federation. The position in the 3x3 Federation Ranking is driven by the number of players and their playing frequency. The more events are organised the more likely players will accumulate points and increase the national federation's standing in the 3x3 Federation Ranking".
So, doesn't matter if players are strong, are good player. No. For a good ranking is necessary to organize many national events, so player can accumulate their points. Ok, my italian friends, let's organize some 3x3 torunaments!!!
The worst sport thing i ever seen.

Yeah, now that it's Olympic qualification, I can see 3x3 events popping-up everywhere and nations with most events qualifying. Surely China will qualify in both genders.

 

Hopefully Andorra will be organizing competitions every single day.

They can still qualify by reaching the entry standard.

Yeah, but if i understood the document correctly, the standards will be extremely high, my expectation would be something like 2.34 m in mens high jump.

Yeah, it depends on what the entry standards are, I was imagining it would be something similar to what we had for the 2017 World Championships, basically performances that guarantee to not go over the maximum quota per event.

 

[JoshMartini007 2,559]

Also due to double starters it is very likely that there will be fewer than 1900 athletes competing. Unless the IAAF decides to let in more than the maximum quota per event.

So the only missing qualification systems pdf files are Boxing, Sprint Canoeing and Rugby Sevens ?

I remember Sprint Canoeing was the first official qualification system released for Rio 2016

 

[JoshMartini007 2,559]

Maybe they are trying to word it so it doesn't take a team of lawyers to figure out what was written...

[NearPup 3,169]

You know, the more I think about 3x3's qualification system, the more baffled I am by it. It's just so ******* ridiculous and completely unfit for the Olympics.
