CLASSIFYING ATHLETES FOR PARALYMPIC SPORT

Application Purpose

Software to ensure the integrity and efficiency of the Athlete Classification process.

All Paralympic sports have procedures in place to classify athletes and ensure they are placed in the most appropriate group for competition. This is a significant administrative process.

 

To help manage this process, Globocol has designed a software application to manage Athlete Classification for national governing bodies in Paralympic sports. 

Athletes submit medical evidence and Classifiers will administer a range of tests that measure the athlete’s impairment against the sport’s classification rules. The software enables safe storage, and access to, documents and correspondence. There is also a facility to manage an appeal against the classification that is allocated.

Application 
Description

A digital system of record to manage all aspects of the athlete classification process.

Globocol’s Athlete Classification Software ensures efficient and effective governance and practices in the athlete classification process. It enables the governing body to work with athletes to submit a case and safely store medical records, showing accountability of actions and enabling the creation of Board reports.

As the classification process for all sports shares common features, there are a number of generic steps in the workflow. However, given that each sport has individual needs there is a customised area for specific impairments and classes.
