For the last two years the qualification criteria for the non-Olympic disciplines has been ammended by the German Olympic Sport Federation who directs the German top-sport. Shortlisted drivers are those who have the potential to successfully compete at a championship. Long-listed drivers have the potential to compete at world level while the C-Lists are made up of youth and international drivers who show lots of potential.
