The criteria for assignment of each unit, please refer to this link. L & rsquo; inconsistency early regards the Official Rules and the place assigned to the nominal leader of the nine existing Continental Cup. The regulation, which again present a translation into Italian, but that & egrave; fully available in English at this link (the point in question & egrave; the 3.1.6 on page 6 of this pdf), reads: 3.1.6 Additional quota for winners or leaders of the COC The winners of the General Classification in the previous season of each COC, have the right to participate in tenders of the first period of the World Cup the following season. The provisional leaders of all COC the following dates are entitled to participate in competitions of the World Cup the following period: 1 & deg; Period of the World Cup & ndash; Winners COC 2013-14 season 2 & deg; Period of the World Cup & ndash; COC leaders to January 12, 2015 3 & deg; Period of the World Cup & ndash; COC leaders to February 9, 2015 4 & deg; Period of the World Cup & ndash; COC leaders to March 2, 2015 An official list of athletes qualified sar & agrave; published on the FIS website. The official list & egrave; found at this link. Immediately jumps to & rsquo; eye the presence of Katerina Smutna as leader of Opa Cup. L & rsquo; Austrian actually & agrave; not & egrave; leader of Opa Cup to January 12, as the & egrave; Lucia Scardoni (click here for the general classification of Opa Cup) but it was December 21, the date of conclusion of the first period of the World Cup (click here for the calendar with the division into periods). The comparisons for the other COC are not possible because & ndash; despite being started by pi & ugrave; a month & ndash; are not yet present the overall rankings on the site FIS, but the discussion is likely & egrave; similar. Taking therefore good for the shares officially published by the FIS, bench & eacute; inconsistent with the rules, here are the female contingent of each nation for the second period of the World Cup 2014-15 NORWAY 9 Distance (6 + 1 Group Red + Therese Johaug + Silje & Ã˜ YRE Slind) 10 Sprint (6 + 2 Group Red + Therese Johaug + Silje & Ã˜ YRE Slind) 11 Multistage (9 + Therese Johaug + Silje & Ã˜ YRE Slind ) SWEDEN 6 Sprint Distance 6 9 Multistage RUSSIA Distance 7 (6 + Yulia Tchekaleva) 6 Sprint (5 + Yulia Tchekaleva) Multistage 9 (8 + Yulia Tchekaleva) GERMANY 5 Distance 6 Sprint 8 Multistage FINLAND 5 7 5 Sprint Distance Multistage FRANCE 4 Distance & nbsp; Sprint 4 & nbsp; 6 Multistage SWITZERLAND 4 Distance 4 Sprint 6 Multistage ITALY 4 Distance 4 Sprint 6 Multistage UNITED STATES 6 Distance (5 + Rosie Brennan) 7 Sprint (5 + Kikkan Randall + Rosie Brennan) Multistage 8 (7 + Rosie Brennan) CZECH REPUBLIC 3 Sprint Distance 4 5 Multistage POLAND 5 Distance (4 + Magdalena Kozielska) 5 Sprint (4 + Magdalena Kozielska) Multistage 7 (6 + Magdalena Kozielska) AUSTRIA 5 Distance (4 + Katerina Smutna) Sprint 4 (3 + Katerina Smutna) Multistage 6 (5 + Katerina Smutna) CANADA 3 Distance (2 + Alysson Marshall) Sprint 4 (3 + Alysson Marshall) Multistage 4 (3 + Alysson Marshall) JAPAN 4 Distance (3 + Yuki Kobayashi) Sprint 3 (2 + Yuki Kobayashi) Multistage 5 (4 + Yuki Kobayashi) SLOVAKIA 2 3 Sprint Distance 3 Multistage CHINA Sprint Distance 2 3 4 Multistage UKRAINE Sprint Distance 2 3 4 Multistage SPAIN Sprint Distance 2 3 4 Multistage BULGARIA 3 Distance (2 + Antoniya Grigorova-Burgova) Sprint 3 (2 + Antoniya Grigorova-Burgova) Multistage 4 (3 + Antoniya Grigorova-Burgova) AUSTRALIA 3 Distance (2 + Esther Battomley) Sprint 3 (2 + Esther Battomley) Multistage 4 (3 + Esther Battomley) ALL OTHER NATIONS 2 Sprint Distance 2 3 Multistage & Nbsp;
