MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEING TO THE IPC ELIGIBILITY CODE NPC SELECTION STANDARDS COMPLIANCE WITH CLASSIFICATION RULES No minimum age limit for athletes competing in the Paralympic Games is stipulated by the IPC on a general basis.

To be eligible for participation in the Paralympic Games all athletes must sign, observe, comply and abide by the rules and regulations outlined on the IPC Eligibility Code form. The IPC Eligibility Code form is part of the NPC registration process. The IPC recognises and respects the right of NPCs to establish national selection standards for determining an athlete or team s selection to compete in the Paralympic Games. However, such standards must be in compliance with article 2.2.6 of the Rights and Obligations of IPC Members Bylaw and respect the IPC terms of dates of confirmation and other administrative deadlines. Only qualified athletes that meet the sportspecific classification rules and have the sport classification status outlined on the sportspecific athlete eligibility criteria will be eligible for entry in the London 2012 Paralympic Games. It is the responsibility of each NPC to ensure that its athletes are appropriately classified in the respective sport prior to entry.

TE(M) x GP(M) = GR(M) TE(F) x GP(F) = GR(F) TE (M) = Total eligible male athletes for the NPC TE (F) = Total eligible female athletes for the NPC GP(M) = Gender percentage; 71.421% for male ratio GP(F) = Gender percentage; 28.571% for female ratio GR(M) = Gender representation male ratio GR(F) = Gender representation female ratio Determination of qualification slot allocation quota (per NPC): GR(M) + GR(F) + RS= TS(M/F) RS = remaining slots TS(M/F) = Total qualification slot allocation quota for NPC with male and female athletes The gender based slots through direct qualification are included in the calculation. Should the gender allocation not assign all slots to a given gender, the remaining slot(s) shall be distributed at the discretion of the respective NPC. The quota for NPCs having only eligible male or only eligible female athletes will be allocated 100% for athletes in the respective gender. The above mentioned method does not apply for NPCs with a total of up to five (5) eligible athletes as the gender representation ratio cannot be implemented.
