The women's football tournament at the 2016 Summer Olympics was held from 3 to 19 August 2016.[1] It was the 6th edition of the women's Olympic football tournament. Together with the men's competition, the 2016 Summer Olympics football tournament was held in six cities in Brazil, including Olympic host city Rio de Janeiro, which hosted the final at the Maracanã Stadium.[2] There were no player age restrictions for teams participating in the women's competition.
In March 2016, it was agreed that the competition would be part of IFAB's trial to allow a fourth substitute to be made during extra time.[3] Title holders and 2012 Summer Olympics gold Olympic medalists the United States, were eliminated in a loss against Sweden in a penalty shoot-out in the quarter-finals. This marked the first time that the United States has not progressed to the semi-finals in a major international tournament.
Germany won their first gold medal by defeating Sweden 2–1 in the final.[4][5] Canada won bronze after beating host Brazil with the same scoreline in the bronze medal game.[6]

Draw[edit]
The draw for the tournament was held on 14 April 2016, 10:30 BRT (UTC−3), at the Maracanã Stadium, Rio de Janeiro.[20] The 12 teams in the women's tournament were drawn into three groups of four teams.[21] The teams were seeded into four pots based on the FIFA Ranking of March 2016 (in brackets in the table).[22] The hosts Brazil were automatically assigned into position E1. No groups can contain more than one team from the same confederation.[23]

Group stage[edit]
The top two teams of each group and the two best third-placed teams advanced to the quarter-finals. The rankings of teams in each group were determined as follows:[18]
points obtained in all group matches;
goal difference in all group matches;
number of goals scored in all group matches;
If two or more teams were equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings were determined as follows:
points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
goal difference in the group matches between the teams concerned;
number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;
drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.
The groups were denoted as groups E, F and G to avoid confusion with the groups of the men's tournament which used designations A–D.

Knockout stage[edit]
Main article: Football at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament – Knockout stage
In the knockout stages, if a match is level at the end of normal playing time, extra time is played (two periods of 15 minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner.[18]
On 18 March 2016, the FIFA Executive Committee agreed that the competition would be part of the International Football Association Board's trial to allow a fourth substitute to be made during extra time.[3]

Creamy layer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"Creamy layer" is a term used in Indian politics to refer to the relatively wealthier and better educated members of the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) who are not eligible for government sponsored educational and professional benefit programs. The term was introduced by the Sattanathan Commission in 1971, which directed that the "creamy layer" should be excluded from the reservations (quotas) of civil posts and services granted to the OBCs.
The creamy layer criteria was defined as earning more than 100,000 rupees (₹ or INR, together abbreviated Rs 1 lakh) per annum in 1993, and revised to ₹ 2.5 lakh (2004),[1] then ₹ 4.5 lakh (2008),[2] Rs 6 lakh (2013)[3][4]and Rs 8 lakh (2017)[5]. In October 2015, the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC[6]) proposed that a person belonging to OBC with an annual family income of up to Rs 15 lakh should be considered as minimum ceiling for OBC.[7] The NCBC also recommended the sub-division of OBCs into 'backward', 'more backward,' and 'extremely backward' blocs and divide 27% quota amongst them in proportion to their population, to ensure that stronger OBCs don't corner the quota benefits.[4][8]

Classification[edit]
The Supreme Court of India defined the "creamy layer," quoting an Indian governmental office memorandum dated 8 September 1993.[9] The term was originally introduced in the context of reservation of jobs for certain groups in 1992.[10] The Supreme Court has said that the benefit of reservation should not be given to OBC children of constitutional functionaries—such as the President, Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts, employees of central and state bureaucracies above a certain level, public sector employees, and members of the armed forces and paramilitary personnel above the rank of colonel (SCs,[clarification needed] STs,[clarification needed] and the unreserved[clarification needed] are exempt now).[11]
The children of persons engaged in trade, industry and professions such as a doctor, lawyer, chartered accountant, income tax consultant, financial or management consultant, dental surgeon, engineer, architect, computer specialist, film artists and other film professional, author, playwright, sports person, sports professional, media professional or any other vocations of like status whose annual income is more than ₹ 600,000 (Rs 6 lakh) for a period of three consecutive years are also excluded. [OBC children belong to any family earning a total gross annual income (from sources other than salary and agricultural land[12][original research?]) of less than Rs 6 lakh for a period of three consecutive year—as the 1993 income ceiling for the creamy layer was raised from ₹ 100,000 (Rs 1 lakh, when the office memo was accepted) to Rs 6 lakh for a period of three consecutive years (in May 2013).[citation needed] Individuals belonging to the creamy layer are also excluded from being categorised as "socially and educationally backward" regardless of their social/educational backwardness.[13]
Application on SC/ST quota[edit]
The 'creamy layer' categorization is currently meant only for the OBCs and not applied to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The reasons cited for this parity is that the provisions for reservations for SC/ST are not for their economical benefits but for their social upliftment. Thus, SC/ST reservations are applicable irrespective of the financial status of the beneficiaries.[14]

Balakrishnan said: 'Though for the purpose of convenience, the list is based on caste, it cannot be said that backward class has been identified solely on the basis of caste. The only possible objection that could be agitated is that in many of the castes included in this list, there may be an affluent section (creamy layer) which cannot be included in the list of SEBCs.' / He added: 'When socially and educationally backward classes are determined by giving importance to caste, it shall not be forgotten that a segment of that caste is economically advanced and they do not require the protection of reservation.'

Children of those earning Rs. 2.5 lakh ($5,500) per year were also kept out. / In the context of today’s judgments, some lawyers believe that according to this definition, the quota go-ahead will not apply to IIMs and AIIMS.
