    For 2022, there will be a qualification system for each sport.
     
    My suggestions:
     
    -Athletics - Use the IAAF rankings to determine qualifiers and limit field size to certain numbers using past participation as the standard.
    -Basketball (3x3): Top 8 teams per gender (including hosts) in the FIBA Rankings
    -Badminton: Top 16 teams in the rankings qualified. Limit the singles/doubles fields as well. 
    -Boxing: Top 12 athletes in the world rankings per event should qualify, with 16 wild cards to be awarded equally among men/women.
    -Judo: Top 9 in the world rankings + 1 wild card per event. 
    -Diving: I don't think diving needs a system, the numbers are good enough atm. Maybe a minimum score to qualify?
    -Cycling: Use a similar system as the Olympics, but adjust qualified numbers, 
    -Swimming: A/B Standard qualification times, invite 8 teams for each relay only. Also limit each individual event to a max 2 athletes from one country.
    -Gymnastics: The number is adequate enough across both disciplines. Not sure what to suggest here.
    -Triathlon: 28 athlete fields per event. 26 spots reserved for the world rankings + 2 wild cards. 
    -Lawn Bowls: Max 20 per event, using a world rankings/qualification event.
    -Netball/Rugby sevens: Same system as in 2018.
    -Weightlifting: Same system as in 2018
    -Squash: Max 32 in singles draws and 16 in the doubles draws. 
    -Table tennis: Max 12 teams per team event. All other countries can enter a max 1 male and 1 female. 
    -Wrestling: Top 9 in world rankings + 1 wild card per event.
     
    Parasports- Plan ahead and choose events which have the most representation. It was ridiculous too see many events here with just 1 or 2 medals awarded.
    -If a country fails it can enter 2 track and field athletes/2 swimmers (just like the Olympics)

    Very stupid and a lot of people were against it (like myself). I will still sing it with the original lyrics, just like Sarah Pavan did at the Commonwealth Games.

    I'd bet that shooting will be added as the 18th sport like beach volleyball was here. This sport allows many small nations to compete. Dumb decision to omit it completely. THough I would prefer beach volleyball be added too. 17 seems like a low number for this event.

    Bowling is always a crapshoot. They came so close in 2015 with 3 top 5 finishes. One of these days, something has to give and they will win a medal.

    So, do you think that the Mediterranean Games should be an event for sailors and open water swimmers only?

    You can try to sign up here: https://www.dazn.com/ (this is Canada's rights holder) and perhaps it will allow you. You get a free trial for one month.
    Also, iirc GC 2018 had a streaming section of the website, so maybe for countries like Italy they will stream it live.
