TRIPARTITE COMMISSION INVITATION PLACES

On 1 October 2019, the International Olympic Committee will invite all eligible NOCs to submit their requests for Tripartite Commission Invitation Places. The deadline for NOCs to submit their requests is 17 January 2020. In Wrestling, no Tripartite Commission Invitation Places will be directly allocated as part of the athletes’ quota. Tripartite Commission Places may be offered to NOCs within the reallocation process for unused qualification places in individual events, once the initial quota allocation has been completed, as described in paragraph F. Reallocation of Unused Qualification Places.

The Tripartite Commission will confirm, in writing, the allocation of invitation places to the relevant NOCs after the end of the qualification period for the concerned sport.

Detailed information on Tripartite Invitation places is contained in the “Games of the XXXII Olympiad, Tokyo 2020 - Olympic Games Tripartite Commission Invitation Places - Allocation Procedure and Regulations”.

E. CONFIRMATION PROCESS FOR QUOTA PLACES

CONFIRMATION OF QUALIFICATION PLACES

Following each qualification event, UWW will publish the results on its website (https://unitedworldwrestling.org/ under the left menu – Governance – Games) and inform the respective NOCs of their allocated quota places.

The NOCs will then have two (2) weeks to confirm if they wish to use these quota places, as detailed in paragraph G. Qualification Timeline.

CONFIRMATION OF HOST COUNTRY PLACES

In case not previously qualified, the Host NOC has to confirm the use of the allocated quota places to UWW by the end of the qualification period.

F. REALLOCATION OF UNUSED QUOTA PLACES

REALLOCATION OF UNUSED QUALIFICATION PLACES
