Sports And Entertainment Management Practice Test

The key idea is that Olympic sport qualifications are run by the sport’s international governing body, not by the IOC itself. For softball, that responsibility fell to the International Softball Federation. The ISF organized international tournaments and regional events that determined which national teams earned spots in the Olympic softball tournaments. The IOC oversees the Games overall, but it delegates the actual qualification process to the relevant sport federation. Other options don’t fit because: - The General Association of International Sports Federations is a coordinating body for multiple sports, not a sport-specific qualifier organizer. - Major League Baseball is a professional league with no role in Olympic qualification. - The IOC itself doesn’t run sport-specific qualification events. Historically, before governance shifted to the World Baseball Softball Confederation, Olympic berths were earned through ISF-sanctioned events.
