SELECTION COMPETITIONS PROCESS & EVENT STRUCTURE
Process
Pursuant to the Nomination Criteria for the Australian Team to the 2016 Olympic Games
(which is published on Boxing Australia’s website at Documents/Selection Policies), for a boxer
to be considered for selection to the 2015 AIBA Oceania Championships he must win two
events in a selection process involving:
 The 2015 Australian Championships, and a
 Second Selection Competition, and if required a
 Third Selection Competition, and if required a
 Fourth Selection Competition.
Once the same boxer has won two of these competitions within a specific weight category, no
further competition will be required and that boxer will be entered into the 2015 AIBA Oceania
Championships for that weight category.
Second Selection Competition Event Structure
If there are three or five boxers within a weight category in the Second Selection Competition, the
Australian Champion will automatically receive the bye.
If the Australian Champion wins the Second Selection Competition then he will be entered into the
2015 AIBA Oceania Championships. If another boxer wins the event, then that weight category’s
contestants will proceed to a Third Selection Competition.
Third Selection Competition Event Structure
No boxer will be provided with an automatic bye. All will enter the draw and if there are three or five
boxers entered, the draw will randomly select the boxer to receive the bye.
If the Australian Champion wins the final, or the winner of the Second Selection Competition wins the
final then that boxer will be entered into the 2015 AIBA Oceania Championships. If another boxer wins
the event, then for that weight category a Fourth Selection Competition will be held.
