Commonwealth Games Scotland, in conjunction with Boxing Scotland, have published the selection standards required for boxers for nomination to Team Scotland for the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Boxing remains the only sport that Scotland have won at least one medal in at every single Commonwealth Games since they began in 1930, and the class of 2022 will be looking to uphold that fantastic record in Birmingham, England next summer.
The Boxing Selection Policy and Standards, along with Team Scotland’s General Selection Policy which was published in January, means that every boxer now knows exactly what they need to do to secure a place on the team that will compete at the Games between July 28th – August 8th 2022.
Nominations to Team Scotland will be based on Boxing Scotland’s points matrix, with boxers receiving ranking points for top six finishes at identified tournaments during the selection window, which closes on May 2nd 2022.
There will be eight weight categories for men and six for women for boxers at the multi-sport event, with a maximum of one entry per nation in each category.
Meanwhile, the General Selection Standards ensure that a consistent level of performance is required for selection to Team Scotland across all of the 19 sports on the programme.
