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.

Venue
Known as one of the premier sport and entertainment facilities in the Greater Toronto Area, the facility
will be known during Games time as the Mississauga Sports Centre.
Since opening in October 1998, the facility has hosted more than 2,000 event days and welcomed more
than 3.5 million guests. It will be the only venue that has competitions every day of the TORONTO 2015
Pan Am and Parapan Am Games.
For the Games, TO2015 will use the Centres 5,500-seat multi-purpose arena and three additional
National Hockey League (NHL)-sized community rinks. For the Pan Am competitions, the main arena
will have a field of play for judo, wrestling, taekwondo and karate while it will be divided into two separate
fields of play for the Parapan Am competitions of wheelchair rugby and powerlifting.
Of the three community rinks, one will be used for goalball competitions and the remaining two will be
dedicated areas for athlete training and warm-up for Parapan Am competitions. During the Pan Am
competitions, each rink will be used for training and warm-up for karate and other sports.
The rinks concrete flooring will be fitted with different surfaces depending on the sport.
Facilities
The training area will be located within the venue, near the field of play. Other facilities at the competition
venue will include:
change rooms and showers (separate facilities for men and women)
catering services
weigh-in room
cubicles

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.
