Quotas

Quota places are allocated to the NPC(s).

An NPC may be allocated a maximum of four (4) qualification slots.

An NPC can enter a maximum of four (4) eligible Athletes in individual medal events. An NPC can enter one eligible team in the Team medal event.

For the Team medal event, three (3) Athletes, who also must be entered in their respective individual medal events, may compete for each NPC. At least one (1) team member shall be an eligible Athlete in either sport class Grade I or sport class Grade II or sport class Grade III. In order to form a team, an NPC can enter a maximum of two (2) eligible Athletes per sport class.

If an NPC obtains three (3) or more Individual qualification slots (by means of Regional Distribution of Individuals and/or Bipartite Commission Invitations), then all slots may be used for Athletes competing only in Individual medal events if the selected Athletes do not fulfil the criteria to form a team. If an NPC enters three (3) or more Athletes who meet the criteria required to form a team, then that NPC must compete in the Team medal event.
