Qualification System

The rankings from the 2010-11 and 2011-12 Junior Luge world cup will be used to qualify entries. The maximum total for an NOC is 6 athletes (2 boys, 2 girls and one doubles), with a maximum total of 20 athletes in the singles and 15 in the doubles. If the host nation has not qualified the last quota spot is awarded to Austria.[2] If an event does not have a enough qualifiers the quota spots left over will be allocated to the other events equally. A nation can enter the team event if it has qualified an athlete in each event. If spots are reallocated first priority will be given to nations that have not qualified an athlete yet.

The current unofficial standings are:[3]

As of the current qualification standings only 11 doubles would qualify. This would vacate 8 quota spots which would be reallocated to the boys' and girls' individual events (4 each).
