The qualification system for the KSP world tour shall give the top wave riders in the world the opportunity to compete against each other, while creating a clear pathway of how to enter a KSP event and giving riders from as many nations as possible a chance to compete.
Slots for the 24 riders male fleet are allocated as follows (for the womens fleet, 50 % of the quota each)
remaining slots are solely given to include more nations – this means except from the slots above, only riders from nations that are not yet represented are accepted.
If any of the pre-allocated slots are not taken by the riders, these slots go to the pool for the nations.
If slots are not taken shortly before the event, they may be filled with local wild cards or, if possible, alternate riders from the waiting list on a first come-first serve basis.
Applications can be made online at the KSP website until March 1st : http://www.kspworldtour.com/index.php/about/the-riders/2012-riders-application.html
