Proposals for Continental Olympic Qualifications

[Olympian1010 8,276]

So, what would everyone’s opinion be on the following: We move NZL and AUS to Asian qualifiers, and leave the Continental spots for the smaller nations, or NZL/AUS only qualifier through continental spots when no other nations wish to. Thoughts?

Meaningless. Those island nation will never improve because they simply don't have enough people. Only in rugby it would have any purpose.

But it would have increase international participation. Plus, we don’t that wouldn’t be the case since we haven’t tried it. I do feel that you may be right though. I just hate giving AUS/NZL all these free places.

In principle it wouldn't be bad, but in practice a lot of spots are unused even in sports you would expect Oceanian nation to be at least decent (see 470 recently). It would make more sense to fuse Asia and Oceania and reserve some spots for local regions, partially as FEI does, at least in more developed sports in which more quotas are available. Another way could be a slight increase in quotas that are actually given through tripartite commission, let's say doubling them, and make the distribution through ranking and/or dedicated tournaments.

Why are you making the already crowded Asian qualifier even more crowded.

Olympics are for the top athletes and few invitational place. Australia and New Zealand are in Oceania, they should compete for Oceania (that it's already the weakest continent).

If we're going to mess with regions I'd rather have SEA + Oceania as a region. Asia is already too crowded as a qualification region as is.
