NPCs should allow approximately 30–60 minutes for classification evaluation for
each athlete. Athletes should be present no later than 30 minutes before the
scheduled classification times at the designated venue, and should be present for
evaluation with the appropriate equipment, attire and medical documentation as
stipulated in the IPSF rules. With the exception of an interpreter, no more than one
person from each athlete’s NPC will be allowed to accompany an athlete to any
evaluation session and, if applicable, re-evaluation session.
Classification results will be distributed by LOCOG to NPCs at the SIC at the
Paralympic Village and at SIDs at the competition venue where evaluation took
place. Results will be posted within two hours of the close of the classification
evaluation session: results of classification evaluation sessions that end at 12:30
will be posted by 14:30, while the results of classification evaluation sessions that
end at 18:30 will be posted by 20:30.
For full details of classification at the Games, including information on protests,
appeals and First Appearance principles, please refer to the London 2012
Paralympic Games Classification Guide.
Competition draw
The draw for all events will be done by computer in the Olympic Stadium, as
specified in the IPC Athletics rules. The draw for the first rounds of all events will
be conducted on the afternoon of the day before the first/qualifying round.
Draws for events, including subsequent rounds, are conducted continuously as
required. The draw process will be managed by IPC Athletics and operated by
the London 2012 results management system.
All teams must submit their final confirmations for the first day of competition
before 14:00 on 28 August. For each subsequent day of competition, the final
confirmations and relay team confirmations are due before 09:00 on the day
before competition. The draw procedure will be the same as for the first day,
except that start lists and the daily competition schedule should be published by
14:00 at the latest a day before and should be included in the package for the
following day’s competition.
The draws for semi-finals and finals will be carried out after each round of an
event in the same manner as the draw for the first round.
