Notes on Nomination Criteria

• Entries to Oceania, cl.3.3b (2008Australian Olympic team Nomination Criteria); as AISL is the member body of Oceania, the office will submit all entries by those who accept the nomination in writing and these will be deemed to have been received upon payment of the entry fees, which are due on the 10^th October.

• Entries to the Grand Prix which is being held concurrent to the Oceania Continental Championships must be received in accord with the published form. Entries are only open to those who have an MQS. Note there will be no final.

• The final competition has been set to allow those athletes nominated to plan their training and life commitments in order to achieve success without further distractions. This also allows the funding levels to be managed in such a way that those medal prospects may be supported to some degree.

• Prospective versus Shadow Team members: those qualifying under cl.1.5 of the Nomination Criteria will be considered Shadow Team members and will have all documents emailed to them, as they become available. Those not complying with the requirements in cl.1.5 will be considered prospective. Links to all documents will be posted on the AISL website.

• Nomination of Athletes: cl.3.1(5)(b) refers to training program; this will be determined with the individual athlete and their coach in conjunction with the AISL National Coach following the completion of the three qualifying rounds listed in cl.3.3 of the nomination criteria.
