About the Sport Technical Manuals
Published in 2014, the Sport Technical Manuals provide details about each sport competition at the
TORONTO 2015 Pan American Games, as well as operational information that may be of interest
to teams. Each manual includes:
Sport-specific information such as competition format and schedule, training and qualification criteria.
Venue maps and a daily competition and training schedule for all sports.
While this information is accurate as of the date of publication, details may change. NOCs should
consult their TO2015 extranet (Cosmos, https://to2015panam.sharepoint.com/sites/Extranet/NOC/SV/
SitePages/Home.aspx) for important updates.
The TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games Organizing Committee (TO2015) will provide
detailed Team Guides for each sport to NOCs in June 2015.
About Toronto
Toronto, the largest city in Canada and the capital of the province of Ontario, celebrated its
180th anniversary in March 2014. Located on the picturesque shoreline of Lake Ontario, Toronto
is Canadas most populous region and just over an hours drive from the American border.
At 112 metres (367 feet) above sea level, Torontos altitude offers ideal conditions for
highperformance athletes.
Toronto features warm but moderate summer temperatures with an average of fewer than five days
in July with temperatures above 30C (86F).
Average monthly rainfall for July is only 67 millimetres. On average, one in three days will offer some
precipitation, but only one day in nine has rainfall greater than 5 millimetres.
The Economist ranks Toronto as the fifth most liveable city in the world based on factors including
stability, health care, culture, environment, education and infrastructure.
With a population of 2.6 million people, Toronto is Canadas largest city and the fifth largest
in NorthAmerica.
Torontos surrounding region is home to 8.1 million people, all living within an hours drive of
the Gamesarea.
Approximately 20 per cent of the regions population was born in the Caribbean, Central America,
South America, the United States or Mexico.

About
Introduction
On behalf of the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am
Games Organizing Committee (TO2015), I am pleased to
introduce this Sport Technical Manual for the TORONTO 2015
Pan American Games.
Our mission ignite the spirit through a celebration of sport
and culture is built on the foundation of our values: joy, purpose,
accountability, collaboration and results. At the heart of this is
ensuring that the TORONTO 2015 Games are sport focused and
athlete centred.
We are dedicated to providing a first-rate field of play and
delivering an outstanding experience for all athletes, coaches and
officials. We are also committed to providing athletes and teams
with the best possible conditions at our competition venues for them to perform at their peak, which
include a combination of transformational new facilities and iconic existing locations. The training
facilities will be of similarly high standard and will be conveniently located within easy reach of the
Athletes Village and satellite accommodation locations.
To assist you in your Games preparations, we have prepared this Sport Technical Manual in collaboration
with your respective Continental and International Federations. This manual provides the necessary
sport-specific content for the successful delivery of each sport competition as well as operational and
general information that may be of interest to athletes and teams.
The Games provide an opportunity to celebrate and strengthen the goals of fair play and diversity, foster
lifelong friendships, promote accessibility and inclusion, and encourage all of us, on and off the field, to
practice good sportsmanship.
We look forward to welcoming you to Toronto in July 2015.

8-team tournament
Format
The mens and womens field hockey competitions will consist of preliminary, qualification (quarter-finals
and semifinals) and final rounds.
For each competition, the teams will be placed in two pools of four teams for the preliminary rounds. In
each pool, all teams will play against each other and the following points will be awarded for each match:
At the completion of the preliminary round, teams will be seeded and placed in two pools of four teams
based on where they finished in pool play.
The quarter-finals will be as follows, although the matches will not necessarily be played in this order:
1st pool A
versus
4th pool B
match 1
2nd pool B
versus
3rd pool A
match 2
2nd pool A
versus
3rd pool B
match 3
1st pool B
versus

match 4
The winners of these matches will play for 1st to 4th places and the losing teams will play for 5th to
8th places.
Field Hockey
The semifinals will be as follows, although the matches will not necessarily be played in this order:
winner match 1
versus
winner match 2
winner match 3
versus
winner match 4
The winners of these matches will play for 1st and 2nd places (the final) and the losers will play for
3rd and 4th places.
Classification matches for 5th to 8th places will be as follows, although the matches will not necessarily
be played in this order:
loser match 1
versus
loser match 2
loser match 3
versus
loser match 4
The winners of these matches will play for 5th and 6th places and the losers will play for 7th and
8th places.
Duration of matches
A match will consist of four 15-minute quarters, with 40-second time outs following both penalty corner
awards and the scoring of a goal. Teams will have a two-minute break after the first and third quarters,
and a 10-minute break at halftime. If the score is tied at the end of a round-robin match, it will be
registered by the International Hockey Federation (FIH) as a result. If the result is a draw at the end of
regulation time, in order to establish an outright winner of a classification match for the purpose of the
competition, a shootout competition will be played to establish the winner of the match.
Shootout competition
In a shootout competition, five players from each team will take a one-on-one shootout alternately
against a defender from the other team. The respective team managers will nominate five players to
take and one to defend the shootouts. Five players from each team will take a shootout alternately
against a defending player from the other team, making a total of 10 shootouts. The team scoring the
most goals wins.
If an equal number of goals is scored after each team has taken five shootouts, a second series of five
shootouts will be taken with the same players. When one team has scored or been awarded one more
goal than the opposing team after each team has taken the same number of shootouts, not necessarily
being all five shootouts, that team will be the winner. If an equal number of goals are scored after a
second series of five shootouts, an additional series of shootouts will be taken with the same players until
one team has scored or been awarded one more goal than the opposing team, after each team has
taken the same number of shootouts.

Accreditation
Accreditation is the process of identifying individuals and their role(s) at the Pan Am Games and
ensuring they are granted the appropriate access to fulfil their role(s). The role of the NOC is to register,
appropriately, every potential athlete, official, dignitary and press person from its territory.
Applications for accreditation must be received by TO2015 no later than March 27, 2015, in order for
NOCs to receive their pre-valid cards (PVCs) before the delegations departure for the Games.
Pre-Valid Cards
By May 30, 2015, and following the data verification and pre-delegation registration meetings (pre-DRMs),
TO2015 will produce and send out PVCs to each NOC. NOCs will be responsible for distributing the
PVCs to their delegation members before they travel to Toronto.
The PVC, along with a valid passport, will serve as an official entry document to Canada. Individuals will
be able to enter Canada using this process from May 11, 2015, to August 25, 2015, at 23:59 p.m., for a
period of stay no longer than six months from first entry. No additional entry visas will be required during
this period. The PVC will be valid for multiple entries, provided it is accompanied on each occasion by
a valid passport.
