A country may field up to 3 athletes in each individual event if all meet the A qualification standard, or 1 athlete per event if they have met the B standard only or 1 athlete with the B and 1 or 2 with the A. Countries without any qualified athletes may enter their best male athlete and their best female athlete for one event each, with the exception of the combined events, 10,000m and steeplechase.
As host nation Germany is entitled to enter 1 athlete or relay team per event regardless of entry standard. Reigning world champions are entitled to be entered whether or not he/she has achieved the corresponding entry standard. Athletes must reach the qualification standards from 1 Jan 2008 (1 Sep 2007 for marathon, combined events and walks) until 3 Aug 2009.
Performances achieved in mixed events between male and female participants, held completely in the stadium, will not normally be accepted, nor will wind-assisted performances or hand timed marks in 100m, 200m, 400m, 100m/110mH, 400mH & 4x100m.
Indoor performances for all field events and for races of 400m and longer will be accepted (but not on oversized tracks).
Athletes who place in the first 20 of the Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London and New York City Marathons will be considered as having achieved the A standard.
For the marathon and 50k walk, senior athletes only (aged 20 and over on 31 Dec 2009) will be accepted and Junior athletes (18 or 19 on 31 Dec 2009) may compete in any other event.
Youth athletes (16 or 17 on 31 Dec 2009) may compete in any event except the men’s throws, decathlon, 10,000m, marathon and walks. Athletes younger than 16 on 31 Dec 2009 cannot be entered in any event.
