Rules

The ranking in this table is consistent with International Olympic Committee convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a Commonwealth Games Association). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their three-letter country code. The following award rule is enforced by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF).

The current rules approved in 2015,to have an event to be contested at the Commonwealth Games, there must be at least 3 athletes from two national associations competing. Thus, only the gold medal will be awarded to the first place. This rule expands to the case where only 4 athletes from at least 2 associations are registered. However, only the gold and silver medals will be given to the first and second place respectively. The bronze medal will be given when there are 5 athletes or teams registered in the event. In the case of those sports that are given two bronze medals, the minimum is 7 athletes from 3 countries. These rules do not apply for team sports in which at least 4 teams have to be entered.[ citation needed ]

Two bronze medals was awarded in boxing, judo and in 10 of 12 wrestling events.

No bronze medal was awarded in either the Women's Marathon T54 event, the Women's Tandem B Cycling and in the women's 53 kg freestyle wrestling event as there were only four entries in each event. As per current Commonwealth Games regulations, a bronze medal is not available if there are fewer than five entries from three countries. [2] Only one bronze was awarded in the women's 50 kg freestyle wrestling event as there was only six entries.

Additionally, two silver medals were awarded in the Women's 50m butterfly and Men's 100m butterfly swimming events, as a result of a tie between two athletes in each respective event.
