2019/2020 CEC Event Pre-qualification guidelines
Athletes who are members of National Team Program (NTP) and Youth National Team Program (YNTP) will be pre-qualified for 2019/2020 CEC events based on performance standards from 2019 IFSC results outlined below.
Pre-qualified athletes are exempt from qualifying events and will be considered extra quota for the PSO they are registered with.
Pre-qualified athletes may choose to compete in provincial and/or regional qualifying series/events provided that the PSO allows this.
Unless otherwise stated (see Note on Youth Pan Ams below), pre-qualified status only applies in the discipline(s) and categories in which the performance standards have been achieved (i.e. youth boulder athletes are only pre-qualified for the specified youth boulder events).
