Qualification System 4.1 ATHLETE ELIGIBILITY To be eligible to participate in the Youth Olympic Games, athletes must have been born between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 1998. Athletes must have participated in the Cadet World Championships in 2013 or Continental Youth Championships, and have the minimum Grade Blue Belt. 4.2 QUALIFICATION PATHWAY For each qualifying event, the quota places obtained for the Youth Olympic Games will be allocated to: Athletes NOCs The 2013 IJF Cadet World Judo Championships (WCC) will serve as the qualification tournament for the YOG. WCC Date & Venue: 8-11 August 2013, Miami, USA 3
WCC Weight Categories: BOYS (8) Under 50kg Over 50 and under 55kg Over 55 and under 60kg Over 60 and under 66kg Over 66 and under 73kg Over 73 and under 81kg Over 81kg and under 90kg Over 90kg GIRLS (8) Under 40kg Over 40 and under 44kg Over 44 and under 48kg Over 48 and under 52kg Over 52 and under 57kg Over 57 and under 63kg Over 63kg and under 70kg Over 70kg All the medal winners of the WCC (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd) from all the 16 weight categories (8 for boys and 8 for girls) contested in the WCC, and which satisfy the criteria of the weight categories of the YOG, will qualify directly (IF Qualification). Boys weighing more than 100kg and girls weighing more than 78kg will not be considered in the selection. Every NOC is allowed a maximum of one boy and one girl. Should an NOC qualify more than one boy and one girl, it will have to select the athlete from his/her respective weight category, by no later than 15 September 2013. The qualified athletes who are not selected will be released. By 20 February 2014, the NOC will list a preference ranking for these released athletes (reserve athletes) in case the selected athlete is not able to participate. By 15 October 2013, the IJF will then reallocate the places vacated by the NOCs using the next results after the bronze medals, taking into consideration the 5th, 7th places, etc, until all places are filled. In order to rank the athletes who have the same placing, the IJF will take into consideration the total competition points scored by the athlete to make the selection. If parity still remains, first the number of fights won by Ippon will be taken into consideration, then the duration of the fights. If this still does not give a clear selection, then the athletes with the same points are drawn until a total of 43 boys and 43 girls are qualified. As the qualification through performance is one year before the YOG, 4
the young athletes who qualify are allowed to move only from one IJF weight category to the next category for which they have qualified in the WCC in August 2013. The weight to be contested will have to be declared by 20 February 2014 when all NOCs confirm to the IJF their participation by weight category. From 20 February 2014 to 7 June 2014, in case of injury or force majeure, an NOC can ask the IJF to substitute an athlete with another who also achieved qualification in the WCC according to their previous ranked preference. Mixed Team Competition Teams of eight athletes (four boys and four girls) will be formed after the official weigh-in. All 104 participants are first separated by gender, and then they are sorted by their actual weight recorded during weigh-in, in ascending order. These two groups of boys and girls are then each split into four weight groups to make a total of eight groups. A maximum of 13 multinational teams will be made up by drawing one athlete from each of these eight weight groups. In order to ensure a balance in the levels across all teams, the IJF may take into consideration the results in the distribution. All athletes are to participate in the team event. In case of injury a Medical Certificate is to be presented not later than 11:00 a.m. of the day before the team event. Countries with two qualified athletes will be seeded and drawn first so that no NOC will have two competitors on the same team. In case a team is composed of less than 8 judoka the vacant category will not be counted and taken as a draw when this team of 7 meets another of 8 competitors. This does not apply to the case where an athlete is injured after the team starts competing. 5
4.3 HOST COUNTRY REPRESENTATION The host country will automatically qualify one boy and one girl, on the condition that both athletes meet the eligibility requirements described under 4.1 of this Brochure. 4.4 UNIVERSALITY PLACES To be eligible to receive Universality Places, athletes must comply with the Eligibility criteria as defined under 4.1 of this Brochure.

Competition Format 6.1 Individual events The individual competition will be run in accordance with the elimination system with full repechage, where all participants have the opportunity to compete at least twice. Judoka will be divided into two tables, A and B, by means of a draw, and then into two groups (subtables) within each table: A1, A2, B1 and B2. The elimination system will be used to produce two finalists. All judoka defeated after each round of competition will take part in the repechage of their respective table according to the elimination system. The winner of each repechage will compete against the loser of the final of the opposite table for the two bronze medals. The winners of table A and table B will fight off for the gold and silver medals. 6.2 Mixed Continental Team event Teams are composed of eight judoka (four men and four women) from different continents. The team competition will be run in a direct elimination format without repechage. The losers to the two finalist teams will be awarded a bronze medal each.
