Selection Criteria

 

Base divisional quota per gender (PG) for U16 National championships based the following criteria;

  • All divisions have one (1) guaranteed quota spot (PG)
  • The remaining quota spots are assigned to the divisions using the previous seasons Provincial/OCUP FINALS results
  • 2 spots are reserved by AOA for discretionary purposes to be determined by AOA Athletic Committee

I.E. in 2017 ACA has assigned AOA 20 spots (PG) for the U16 National Championships

 

  • Each division will always receive 1 spot (PG) = 4, leaving 16 (2017) remaining spots (PG)
  • Assign these 16 spots (2017) to the divisions based on the representation of divisional athletes ranking in the top 16 (2016) Provincial Championships overall tabulation
    • Example – If from the 2016 Provincial championships overall ranking looked like this-

1-SOD, 2-NCD, 3-SOD, 4-LSDA, 5-SOD, 6-SOD, 7-NCD, 8-NOD, 9-SOD, 10-LSDA, 11-SOD, 12-SOD, 13-SOD, 14-SOD,

The Quota distribution would be as follows:

  • SOD              1+9= 12
  • LSDA            1+2= 3
  • NCD              1+2= 3
  • NOD             1+1= 2

Total Quota     = 18 (this number is relative to 2017 when the ON quota from ACA is 20 (PG)

This system:

  • Remains fluid to divisional performance
  • Adjusts to any year to year fluctuation in ACA’s assignment of Provincial Quota
