Main article: Archery at the 2012 Summer Olympics
There were 128 qualifying places available for archery at the 2012 Summer Olympics: 64 for men and 64 for women.
Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter a maximum of 6 competitors, 3 per each gender. NOCs that qualify teams for a particular gender are able to send a three-member team to the team event and also have each member compete in the individual event. There were 12 team spots for each gender, thus qualifying 36 individuals through team qualification. All other NOCs may earn a maximum of 1 quota place per gender for the individual events.[1]
6 places are reserved for Great Britain as host nation, and a further 6 shall be decided upon by the Tripartite Commission. The remaining 116 places shall therefore be allocated through a qualification process, in which archers earn quota places for their respective NOCs, though not necessarily for themselves.[1]
To be eligible to participate in the Olympic Games after the NOC has obtained a quota place, all archers must have achieved the following Minimum Qualification Score (MQS):[1]
- Men: FITA round of 1230 or 70m round of 625
- Women: FITA round of 1230 or 70m round of 600
The MQS must be achieved between 2 July 2011 (starting at the 2011 World Outdoor Archery Championships) and 1 July 2012 at a registered FITA event.[1]
