11 4. OLYMPIC QUOTA PLACES WHAT IS AN OLYMPIC QUOTA PLACE? The 52nd ISSF World Championship is the first Shooting sport qualification event for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo (JPN) Following the Olympic qualification path agreed with the International Olympic Committee, the first 60 Olympic Quota Places (out of a total of 360 Quotas) will be distributed here in Changwon. QUOTA PLACE What is a Quota Place or, as athletes often call them Quotas or Olympic Tickets? Since 1988, the Olympic Qualification System of the Shooting Sport is based on two fundamentals: the Olympic Quota Places, and the Minimum Qualification Scores (MQS). Each athlete, to be eligible to take part in the Olympic Games or in the Youth Olympic Games, needs an Olympic Quota Place, and must have obtained a Minimum Qualification Score at least once during his/her shooting career. A Quota Place is a qualification slot to enter the Olympic Games, awarded by the ISSF to those athletes who reach the best results during designated ISSF Olympic qualifier competitions such as the 52nd ISSF World Championships in Changwon, the 2019 ISSF World Cup Series and other designated Continental Championships. Quota Places are country-related: the athlete wins a quota place for his/her country, which then decide how to use that qualification slot. Therefore, the athlete who secures a Quota is not automatically qualified for the Games, as the finals decision on the composition of the Olympic team is to be taken by his/her national team. The International Olympic Committee assigned 360 Quota Places to the Shooting sport for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo (JPN). Out of these 360 Qualification slots, 60 will be distributed in Changwon. That means that in each of the 15 Olympic Shooting events that will be conducted during the World Championship, the best finalists will be awarded an Olympic Quota Place. The best placed athletes - depending on the event will secure a Quota (see the table for details). MINIMUM QUALIFICATION SCORE (MQS) The MQS (Minimum Qualification Score) is a minimum score that a athlete must have recorded at least once during his/her shooting career, in order to become eligible to take part in the Olympic Games or in the Youth Olympic Games. The Minimum Qualification Scores for each shooting event are designated by the ISSF. The personal MQS scores of each athlete are recorded through ISSF supervised shooting events, and each athlete willing to participate in the Olympic Games or in the Youth Olympic Games must record it before heading to the Games. A list of the MQS scores is available on the ISSF website QUOTA PLACES AT THE 52ND ISSF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CHANGWON COMPETITION DAY TIME VENUE OLYMPIC EVENT QUOTA PLACES RANKINGS Sunday September 02 12:00 Final Hall 10m Air Rifle Mixed Team 4 top 2 15:00 Final Hall 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team 4 top 2 Monday September 03 12:15 Final Hall 10m Air Rifle Men 4 top 4 14:15 Final Hall 10m Air Rifle Women 4 top 4 16:45 Shotgun Range Trap Men 4 top 4 Tuesday September 04 13:15 Final Hall 10m Air Pistol Women 4 top 4 Thursday September 06 13:15 Final Hall 10m Air Pistol Men 4 top 4 16:15 Shotgun Range Trap Women 4 top 4 Friday September 07 12:15 Final Hall 50m Rifle 3 Positions Men 4 top 4 17:00 Shotgun Range Trap Mixed Team 4 top 2 Saturday September 08 12:15 Final Hall 50m Rifle 3 Positions Women 4 top 4 15:30 Final Hall 25m Pistol Women 4 top 4 Monday September 09 14:30 Final Hall 25m Rapid Fire Pistol Men 4 top 4 Tuesday September 10 16:00 Shotgun Range Skeet Women 4 top 4 Friday September 14 16:30 Shotgun Range Skeet Men 4 top 4 TOTAL 60 MEDIA INFORMATION 2018 ISSF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CHANGWON KOR 11
