These were the top six male and top three female finishers in the Championship. Of the top six male finishers, two of them - Keerati Bualong (First) and Natthawut Peanyaem (Fifth), both of Thailand, were too old to qualify for the Games. Of the top three female finishers, Kamolwan Chanyim of Thailand (Second female and 16th overall) was also over age. In both cases, their compatriots successfully qualified their country.

With Singapore already seeded into the Games as the host country, three spots were open to the top three different countries in both the boy's and girl's divisions of the Championship providing that the competitor would not have turned 17 in 2010. The same three countries claimed both the boy's and the girl's places, shown below in their order of finish. Their actual finishes can be found in the results. See link below.
