1.3. Provide a comprehensive, step-by-step description of the method that explains how athletes will go through the process to be selected to the Team (include maximum Team size).

Team Size will be determined based on the IPC Athletics slot allocation. General provisions as outlined in the 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships Qualification Guide: An NPC can be allocated a maximum of forty-eight (48) male qualification

slots and thirty-two (32) female qualification slots. Exceptions may be granted through the Direct Invitation method. If an NPC is unable to use all of the allocated qualification slots in a given gender, the unused slots cannot be transferred to the other gender.

A maximum of three (3) eligible athletes can be entered per single sport class medal event.

Page 5: World Championships Athlete Selection Procedures …/media/USA_Paralympics/Documents/track...1 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field ATHLETE SELECTION PROCEDURES World Championships 17-February-2015-Amended

In the event that two or more classes in Field Events have to compete combined following the final entry by name and event viability review (e.g., Shot Put F53/54/55), an NPC may not exceed a maximum of five (5) eligible athletes in a combined medal event. However, per each sport class, a maximum of three (3) eligible athletes can be entered.

To be eligible for a relay event, an athlete must be entered in at least one (1) individual event. A maximum of one team can be entered in each relay event comprising up to six (6) eligible athletes.

Eligible athletes can be entered in an unlimited number of medal events as long as the athlete has achieved at least a BQS performance in each event.

1.3.1. IPC Direct Invitation

IPC Athletics reserves the right to directly invite athletes under the following criteria: To enable greater representation by nation or region; To ensure medal events will have sufficient representation for viability; To enable greater representation by gender; To ensure top athletes that may have not had the opportunity to

formally qualify due to extraordinary circumstances. Direct Invitation slots are in addition to the slot allocation per gender as referenced at the beginning of section 1.3. If the IPC awards a Direct Invitation slot to an athlete by name, U.S. Paralympics will accept such athlete to the TEAM.

1.3.2. Discretionary Selection

Prior to the objective selection process (outlined below) a maximum of 10% of the athletes per gender may, but are not required to, be nominated to the team according to Discretionary Selection (Section 2).

1.3.3. World Championships Team Selection Ranking List

Athletes will be ranked using the results from the 2015 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships according to the following system. All results must be valid and recognized by the IPC. All results for each eligible athlete will be given a percentage score. The

score is calculated by comparing the athlete’s result from the 2015 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships to the 2015 National Team A standard for each event using the following formula.

Track events: (National Team A / result) x 100

Page 6: World Championships Athlete Selection Procedures …/media/USA_Paralympics/Documents/track...1 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field ATHLETE SELECTION PROCEDURES World Championships 17-February-2015-Amended

6

Field events: (result / National Team A) x 100 The percentage will be provided with two decimal points (to the one-

hundredth of a percent) with the highest percentage compared to the National Team A standard being the better result.

Slots and start rights will be filled in order of the World Championships Team Selection Ranking List (highest to lowest percentage) for the medal events scheduled to be contested at these World Championships (Attachment C).

Nomination will continue until either all slots, by gender, have been filled or all eligible athletes who have achieved a BQS have been nominated to the team. Tie- Breaking Procedures If a tie exists for the final team slot or for a final event start right at any point during the implementation of these procedures, the athletes who qualify will be, in order, those athletes: Who have the highest place (or preliminary round) finish in their sport

class of the individual event or sport class of the combined event at the 2015 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships.

Who have the highest ranking on the current IPC Athletics World Ranking list in the event(s) that he/she could enter.

Start Rights Start rights remaining open after the slots have been filled may be assigned by the High Performance Director (“HPD”) to eligible athletes already nominated to the team. In assigning start rights, the HPD may consult with the athlete and the relevant discipline assistant coaches. The following factors may be considered (not in priority order): The desire of the athlete to start the event, The athlete’s number of events and the time schedule of events, The likelihood of the athlete winning a medal in the event, IPC World Ranking lists, and 2014 performances Relays The assignment of athletes to the relay pool and of start rights in all relays shall be determined by the HPD in consultation with the relevant discipline assistant coaches, considering all of the following factors (in no particular order):

Page 7: World Championships Athlete Selection Procedures …/media/USA_Paralympics/Documents/track...1 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field ATHLETE SELECTION PROCEDURES World Championships 17-February-2015-Amended

Guide Athletes Guide athletes will be nominated based on Discretionary Selection as outlined in section 2.2. Team Announcement The World Championships Team will be announced approximately one week after the IPC Slot Allocation at www.usparalympics.org. The IPC slot allocation is currently scheduled for September 7, 2015, but the most current schedule can be found in the Qualification Criteria posted on the IPC Athletics website: http://www.paralympic.org/doha-2015/qualification

2. DISCRETIONARY SELECTION (if applicable)

2.1. Provide rationale for utilizing discretionary selection (if any):

A minimum of 90% of the athletes, per gender, nominated to the Team will qualify themselves for the Team by the objective selection (times and distances) from results obtained from 2015 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships. With a fixed allocation of Team slots and start rights for each event, U.S. Paralympics sees benefit to the entire U.S. delegation and overall team and medal performance in nominating top performing athletes to the Team before objective selection. Only the athletes who submit a discretionary selection petition may be considered by the discretionary selection committee. Athletes must submit a discretionary selection petition request in writing to the U.S. Paralympics Track and Field HPD before or no later than two hours following the conclusion of the 2015 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships in order to be considered. Petitions must be submitted in person at the U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships or via email ([email protected]), and must include the reason to be

Page 8: World Championships Athlete Selection Procedures …/media/USA_Paralympics/Documents/track...1 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field ATHLETE SELECTION PROCEDURES World Championships 17-February-2015-Amended

considered for discretionary selection and any supporting documentation (e.g., medical documentation). The petition submission does not guarantee that the athlete will be nominated to the team. Incomplete petitions will not be considered.

2.2. List the discretionary criteria and explain how they will be used (if any):

The Discretionary Selection Committee will consider input and recommendations from relevant assistant/discipline coaches and may, but is not required to, make discretionary selections from among all eligible athletes up to a maximum of 10% of the total Team Slots per gender. Each athlete selected by discretion will be assigned one or more start rights in individual events at the time of selection. The Discretionary Selection Committee will consider the following performance-related factors (not in priority order):

If the athlete experienced an injury or illness that impeded maximal

performance during the 2015 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships;

If the athlete was subject to equipment failure, weather, interference, or other external factors, either natural or caused by others, that impeded what otherwise likely would have been a qualifying performance at the 2015 U.S. Paralympics Track & Field National Championships;

If the athlete has achieved at least the BQS at an IPC Athletics Approved Event from 1 January 2015 – the end of the 2015 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships and is ranked in the top 8 in their medal event on the Minimum Qualification Standard Ranking List for the 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships as posted on the IPC Athletics website at the time of nomination;

If the athlete has achieved at least the BQS at an IPC Athletics Approved Event from 1 January 2015 – the end of the 2015 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships and was unable to compete at the 2015 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships due to unforeseen circumstances to be determined by the Discretionary Selection Committee;

Guide Athletes

The Discretionary Selection Committee will nominate guide athletes to the team through discretionary selection. Guide athletes are used for the T11/12 and F11/12 sport classes (visually impaired). The guide athletes are not included in the maximum team size as determined by the qualification slots allocated by the IPC nor are the guide athletes accounted in the 10% (per gender) total of discretionary selection as outlined above. A guide athlete will typically work with one athlete during practice, competition and day-to-day activities; therefore accreditation allocation is typically provided for one guide per qualified athlete as outlined in the IPC Rules: http://www.paralympic.org/Athletics/RulesandRegulations/Rules. However, accreditation allocation is not guaranteed and the number of guide athletes will be based on final NPC (U.S. Paralympics) credential allocation.

The below factors will be considered in the selection of a guide athlete:

Track events: the speed of the guide athlete in relation to the athlete being guided. The guide athlete must be faster than the visually impaired athlete.

Field events: voice command and positioning experience Preference of the qualified visually impaired athlete Demonstrated expertise of the guide athlete—must have expertise and

experience in the assigned athlete’s specific event(s). Knowledge and understanding of the IPC Rules pertaining to guide

athletes. http://www.paralympic.org/Athletics/RulesandRegulations/Rules

Guide athletes will be held to the same standards and code of conduct as outlined in these Procedures. The guide athlete position is contingent on the nomination and participation of the designated athlete to be guided. The guide athlete will be removed unless otherwise reassigned by the discretionary selection committee.

2.3. Provide the name of the committee that will be responsible for making discretionary selections, along with a complete list of the members’ titles currently serving on the committee:

Team Leader, Sport Performance, USOC High Performance Director, Paralympic Track and Field, USOC Associate Director, Track and Field National Teams, USOC 2015 World Championships Team Coaching Staff (maximum of four) Athlete Representative Athlete Representative

10

2.3.1. Specify the process that will be used to identify and handle any potential conflicts of interest involving a member of the committee

Any member of the selection committee that has a possible conflict of interest must disclose it. If such conflict exists, the selection committee member must recuse him/herself from committee discussions and voting. Further, the committee member should not otherwise influence other members of the committee in the selection process. However, a committee member who recused him/herself, but who has relevant and necessary information with respect to athlete performance, for example a national team coach or high performance director, may, if requested by the selection committee, provide such information to the committee so long as such information is provided in a fair and unbiased manner and the committee member who declared the conflict of interest does not vote toward the final decision.

3. REMOVAL OF ATHLETES

3.1. Prior to submission by U.S. Paralympics to the IPC and the World Championships Organizing Committee an athlete who is to be selected to the Team by U.S. Paralympics may be removed for any of the following reasons, as determined by U.S. Paralympics:

ATHLETE PLEDGE AND AGREEMENT

I pledge to uphold the spirit of this Code of Conduct (the “Code”), which offers a guide to my conduct as a member of a U.S. Paralympics National Team or a U.S. Paralympics Team to international competition (the “Team”). This Code applies to those Paralympic sports in which the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) has not recognized a National Governing Body or a Paralympic Sport Organization to govern the sport. I acknowledge that I have a right to a hearing if my opportunity to compete is denied or if I am charged with a violation of this Code. I have familiarized myself with the Code and understand that acceptance of its provisions is a condition of my membership on the Team. As a Member of the Team, I hereby promise and agree that I: will abide by all published rules related to the Team selection procedures as approved by U.S.

Paralympics or the USOC;

have acted and will act in a sportsmanlike manner consistent with the spirit of fair play and responsible conduct;

will maintain a level of fitness and competitive readiness that will permit my performance to be at the maximum of my abilities;

will submit to a physical examination by USOC medical personnel if my ability to compete is compromised due to physical injury, illness or incapacity and I understand that such physical injury, illness or incapacity may be cause for my not being selected to the Team, being removed from the Team, or not being allowed to participate if I remain on the Team.

Complaint Procedures January 10, 2008 Page 2 of 3 Section 6. Hearing Panel. Upon the filing of a complaint, the USOC Chief Executive Officer shall appoint a hearing panel consisting of three (3) individuals to hear the complaint. The Chief Executive Officer shall also appoint a chair of the hearing panel from among the three individuals appointed. At least one member of the hearing panel shall be an athlete. The Hearing Panel shall be responsible to ensure that all complaints are heard in a timely, fair and impartial manner. Section 7. Administration. The USOC General Counsel’s Office shall generally administer and oversee all administrative grievances and right to compete matters filed with the USOC. Section 8. Conduct of the Proceeding. The hearing panel shall rule on all motions and other matters raised in the proceeding. If the complaint is not dismissed, the hearing panel shall hold a hearing on the complaint. The hearing panel shall set such timelines and other rules regarding the proceeding and the conduct of the hearing as it deems necessary. The hearing shall be informal, except that testimony shall be taken under oath. The hearing may be conducted by teleconference, if necessary or convenient to the parties. Each party shall have the right to appear personally or through a legal representative. All parties shall be given a reasonable opportunity to present and examine evidence, cross-examine witnesses and to present argument.

Any transcript shall be paid for by the party requesting the transcript. Section 9. Expedited Procedures. Upon the request of a party, and provided that it is necessary to expedite the proceeding in order to resolve a matter relating to a competition that is so scheduled that compliance with regular procedures would not be likely to produce a sufficiently early decision to do justice to the affected parties, the USOC Chief Executive Officer is authorized to order that the complaint be heard and decided within forty-eight (48) hours of the filing of the complaint. In such a case, the hearing panel is authorized to hear and decide the complaint pursuant to such procedures as are necessary, but fair to the parties involved.

Any individual so notified then shall have the option to participate in the proceeding as a party. If an individual is notified of the complaint, then that individual shall be bound by the decision of the hearing panel even though the individual chose not to participate as a party. Section 11. Decision. A decision shall be determined by a majority of the hearing panel. The hearing panel’s decision shall be in writing, shall state the reasons for the decision and shall be distributed to the parties. Section 12. Arbitration.
