Classification FAQs
What if an Athlete disagrees with their Sport Class?
Classification Panels make objective decisions based on a sport’s Classification rules. If an Athlete disagrees with the outcome of an Evaluation Session, each sport has its own Protest rules in place. These rules outline:
- Who may lodge a Protest
- What can be protested
- The timelines that apply
- Which documents are required, and
- Any fees to be paid.
Please note, a Protest can only be lodged by a National Federation or National Paralympic Committee, and not by an individual Athlete.
