All of the players/pairs are equally eligible based on Australia’s nomination criteria (all have less than 36000 points). The following criteria will be used to make their decision.

 

- Results  and  performances  at  BWF  international  sanctioned  tournaments (Within the last 12 month)

- Head to head wins at BWF international sanctioned tournaments that indicate that a top 8 placement at the 2016 Olympics is realistic. Matches won against top 30 BWF World Ranked opponents will be considered. (Within the last 12 month)

- Results  and  performances  at  the  2016  Individual  Australian  National Championship to be held from 29 Feb – 2 March 2016 at the Melbourne Sport and Aquatic Centre.

 

Without looking at results I want to say that the pairs will have an advantage while the men’s singles will be the least likely.

 

Thanks

 

Both doubles looks indeed like the logical choice.

Just to clarify, it should be Thailand in Men's Pairs and Russia in Mixed Pairs the NOC's that shall benefit from the rejection on continental places for Australia.

 

In the case the Thai pair advance, one of their athletes is already qualified, so that would add one more spot in men's singles.

 

Also, I don't know if USA place in women's doubles should be counted as continental as they actually secured their spot without taking  a place from other elegible pair... let's see what BWF has to say in two weeks...

Why is Koukal on the MS list here while he is not on the list on BWF website?

Oops forgot to note them.. If Phillip Chew is selected in two events, so Petr Koukal will get a quota. Otherwise he's not qualified.

Yes you're right.. Goodness I'm so careless

Is there a reallocation list somewhere?

According to Hungarian media, Laura Sarosi (HUN) has qualified. There was talk about her receiving a special wild card for helping Karin Schnaase (GER) continue the match against herself and in doing so, throwing away her last Olympic chance, but if Google Translate is right, she has now gotten a ticket via world rankings.

 

How is that possible?

She also announced the news herself:

If two tripartite spots are returned then she would get one (along with Estonia) if my counting is correct.

So with her and the NOC being completely sure apparently, we can be certain that a tripartite spot has been returned (or two then)?

 

People were fighting for her to get a wildcard based on her actions in the match against Schnaase (Schnaase's shoes broke, she had no pair of shoes available and the only option would be to retire, until Sarosi gave her her own spair shoes so she could continue the match, resulting in Sarosi losing the match and her chance to qualify). There was some talk about her having received a wildcard because of that, but it's hard to think they'd take away someone else's wildcard.

She wouldn't be eligible for a wild card since Hungary qualifies many athletes. There isn't too much competition for the wild cards anyway. Only Sri Lanka, Zambia, Ghana and Jordan have athletes in the top 300 with only Sri Lanka in the top 200 (and they have a good chance at getting a men's spot too). It is quite believable that at least two spots weren't allocated to tripartite nations. In 2012 none of the female tripartite quotas were given out.
