as detailed below.
H.2.7.2 Each year, the JTESC will determine and announce the Selection Period and
Scoring Criteria for the following year’s JWOC Team selection. The

many juniors as possible. Ideally, the announcement should take place prior to
the beginning of the Selection Period.
H.2.7.3 The Selection Period shall be a twelve-month period ending on the Cut-Off Date.
Rankings generated for JWOC selections will be based on those races held
during the Selection Period. Determination of the Selection Period should take
into consideration the schedule and location of major events to maximize the
opportunity for prospective juniors to participate.
H.2.7.4 The rankings used for JWOC selections (JWOC Rankings) shall be the M-20 and
F-20 classes. These may be supplemented by additional races occurring during

or selected Canada Cup races at the discretion of the JTESC and the rankings
committee. The JWOC rankings shall be published as soon as possible after the
Cut-off Date.
H.2.7.5 The Scoring Criteria will generally consist of a minimum ranking score and a
minimum number of races required to be considered for selection to the JWOC
Team. Candidates who do not meet the Scoring Criteria and wish to be
considered must petition for an exception as described below.
H.2.7.6 The maximum JWOC team size will be the maximum allowed by the IOF

rankings meet the Scoring Criteria. All candidates on the scoring list above the
