Quotas

A qualification slot is allocated to the individual athlete not to the NPC:

An NPC can allocated no more than eight male and female slots with a maximum of one powerlifter per medal event. Exceptions may be granted through the Bipartite Invitation Commission Allocation method.
An athlete can only be eligible to compete if they complete the requirements set out in the World Para Powerlifting Qualification Pathway 2017-2020 or have achieved an MQS (Minimum Qualification Standard).^[8]
