Several criteria are used to select sports for the BC Summer and
BC Winter Games. Key criteria include the commitment of the
provincial sport organization to integrating the BC Games in their
athlete, coach, and officials development, participation in all
regions of the province, and facilities available in the Host
Community. Sports are
classified as core sports or optional sports. More

The BC Games Society works in partnership with the provincial
sport organizations to determine eligibility criteria for the each
sport at the BC Summer and BC Winter Games. The provincial sport organization and their representatives
determine the dates and locations of zone qualification events
for the Games. Eligibility
