Qualification system
The rankings from the 2014–15 and 2015–16 Junior Luge world cup were used to qualify entries. Every nation is guaranteed one sled in each event if they meet the minimum standard, if there are more sled then quotas then the world cup rankings will be used. The maximum total for an NOC is six 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. If an event does not have 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. A country qualifying in all events may enter the team relay, along with countries made up of athletes from a maximum of 2 athletes.[1]
