BWF tournaments Oct/Nov 2023

Only 16 pairs in the Olympics and the lower-ranked Canadian and the Australian pairs will get the continental quota spot.

After this week, they will go past the Bulgarian pair and be in a qualification spot but it is all very tight. Both Ashwini/Tanisha and Treesa/Gayatri will need good results in the first few months of 2024 to qualify.

Oh, I missed the continental quota spot part, So, Ashwini/Tanisha just about in now. Only one of the 2 Indian pairs can qualify right unless both go into top 8 which seems impossible right now. So, it will be tight race between these 2 as well as against some other pairs in the vicinity,

What about quota for Africa?

What about quota for Africa?

Each of the five continental zones must enter at least one player in the singles tournament and a pair in the doubles under the rules and regulations of the BWF Continental Representation Place system.

So Africa should get one quota spot. Not sure why tournamentsoftware is ignoring the 66th ranked South African pair as the African quota spot.

I believe the pair has to be in the top 50 to get the continental quota spot. In singles, they only have to be in the top 250.

Correct, found this from the qualification rules-

In each doubles event there shall be at least one (1) pair from each of the five (5) BWF Continental Confederations (Continental Representation Place), which shall be the highest ranked pair in the ‘Race to Paris Ranking Lists’ of 30 April 2024 from the respective Continent, provided the pair is ranked 50 or above (ranked between 1-50) in the BWF ‘Race to Paris Ranking Lists’ of 30 April 2024.

So, as of now South African pair is not eligible.

In the latest updated rankings, Ashwini-Tanisha are 14th in the list and on track to qualify although it could all change in next 4 months.

Thanks Sameer and Arjun for digging this up. That had me confused.
