Archery at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Qualification

Archery at the
2012 Summer Olympics
Individual   men   women
Team   men   women

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter a maximum of 6 competitors, 3 per each gender. Where an NOC has earned a full quota of 3 competitors in a particular gender category, those three competitors shall, in addition to competing in the individual event, compete together for their NOC in the team event. It is anticipated that 12 NOCs shall qualify to participate in each team event, thus qualifying 3 athletes each (24 in total) for the corresponding individual event. All other NOCs may earn a maximum of 1 quota place per gender for the individual events. [1]

6 places are reserved for Great Britain as host nation, and a further 6 shall be decided upon by the Tripartite Commission. The remaining 116 places shall therefore be allocated through a qualification process, in which archers earn quota places for their respective NOCs, though not necessarily for themselves. [1]

To be eligible to participate in the Olympic Games after the NOC has obtained a quota place, all archers must have achieved the following Minimum Qualification Score (MQS): [1]

The MQS must be achieved between 2nd July 2011 (starting at the 2011 World Outdoor Archery Championships) and 1 July 2012 at a registered FITA event. [1]
