| Changes to the AISL Ranking System
Following the yearly review of the High Performance Program, changes to the ranking system have been implemented. To clarify the new chart, the PQS, and the demonstrated ability to repeat this, remains the main measure of an athlete’s progress.
Overall ranking will now be determined by the average of the best five scores in the rolling 12-month calendar period, as this better reflects the actual performance.
Other changes to the published ranking are to enable, at a glance, an athlete’s current activity over a six- and twelve-month period. These figures have no impact on selection or ranking; they serve only as a guide for the athlete and coach to determine how often an athlete is competing.
To record an average in either the six- or twelve-month period, the following criteria apply:
1. 6-month average: to record a result here a minimum of 2 results need to have been recorded during the last 6 months. An additional column shows the number of competitions entered in that period
2. 12-month average: to record a result here a minimum of 3 results need to have been recorded during the last 12 months. An additional column shows the number of competitions entered in that period
A separate ranking sheet for those in contention for the Olympic Games will also be published with a fixed period of January 1, 2011 through to the 2012 nomination date.
- Ranking
- Elite Athletes with a Disability (EAD)
- Air and Prone Events Double up at the Australia Cups
- Quota Places (July 21, 2011)
- Olympic Games Selection Policy Review (January 11, 2011)
Following some questions regarding the Olympic Games selection policy, which is currently being reviewed, I confirm that the basis of selection will be:
- For the first quota place – the highest number of PQS achieved from January 1, 2011 through to the 2012 cut-off date, coupled with world ranking and AISL ranking.
- For the second quota place this will be the selection panel’s decision on the basis of the best possible medal chance.
In short, there will be no specific selection events. The High Performance policy is about consistency in obtaining PQS’s and the ranking. The stated position is to win medals.
