1.3. Provide a comprehensive, step-by-step description of the method that explains how athletes will go through the selection process to become Team nominees (include maximum Team size). Team Size will be determined based on the IPC Athletics slot allocation. General provisions as outlined in the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games 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 Bipartite Commission Invitation Allocation 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. They will be reallocated in the respective gender to other NPCs through the Bipartite Invitation Commission Allocation method.

A maximum of three (3) eligible athletes per individual medal event can be entered provided each has achieved at least a BQS performance in that event.

A maximum of one (1) team can be entered in each relay medal 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 of these medal events.

A maximum of six (6) eligible athletes can be entered in each marathon medal event. A maximum of three (3) athletes can be entered in each marathon medal event as their only event.

1.3.1. IPC Direct Invitation The IPC may award Bipartite slots for the 2016 Paralympic Games using the Bipartite Invitation Allocation Method. The IPC awards these Bipartite slots by name. Bipartite slots are allocated by the IPC based on the principles below (in no particular priority order): to ensure participation of top athletes who may have not had the

opportunity to formally qualify through other methods due to extraordinary circumstances;

to ensure the representation of athletes with high support needs; to ensure medal events will have sufficient representation for viability;

and to enable greater representation by gender.

Prior to awarding Bipartite slots the IPC may invite each National Paralympic Committee to submit an application requesting that an athlete or athletes be considered for a Bipartite slot. U.S. Paralympics may, but is not required to, submit an application for a Bipartite slot depending on whether or not, as determined by the Discretionary Selection Committee, there are athlete candidates who meet the above principles and who are capable of a top three (podium) result, can positively impact team performance, or are considered to be on track to produce a top three (podium) result in the near future. The selection of a particular athlete for submission to the IPC for a Bipartite slot will be based on the above and on the discretionary selection criteria set forth in Section 2.1. The Discretionary Selection Committee shall be responsible for making any such selection. U.S. Paralympics will disclose on its website at www.usparalympics.org the submission of a particular athlete to the IPC for a Bipartite slot. If the IPC awards a Bipartite slot to an athlete by name, U.S. Paralympics will accept such athlete to the Team. U.S. Paralympics will disclose on its website at www.usparalympics.org the name of any athlete named to the Team through the Bipartite Invitation Allocation Method.

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 (see Section 2).

1.3.3. Team Selection Ranking List

Athletes will be ranked using the results (finals/final round only) from the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field according to the following system.

7

If 100m, 200m and Long Jump results from the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials—Track and Field are wind-aided, the eligible athletes’ place finish will determine start right order as long as the eligible athlete has a valid and recognized result included on the IPC Athletics Minimum Qualification Ranking list.

All results for each eligible athlete will be given a percentage score. The score is calculated by comparing the athlete’s result from the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field to the 2016 National Team A standard for each event using the following formula.

o Track events: (2016 National Team A / result) x 100 o Field events: (result / 2016 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 2016 National Team A standard being the better result.

Slots and start rights will be filled based on the Team Selection Ranking List (highest to lowest percentage) for the medal events scheduled to be contested at these Games (Attachment C) in the following order:

1. Athletes who have achieved the AQS between 15 October 2015 and the completion of the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field.

2. Athletes who have achieved the BQS between 15 October 2015 and the completion of the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field.

3. Athletes who have achieved the AQS or BQS between 15 October 2014 and the completion of the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field.

Nomination will continue until either all slots, by gender, have been filled or all eligible athletes who have achieved the BQS have been nominated to the team. Marathon The U.S. winner and runner-up (in that order) will be nominated to the team in the Marathon event based on results from the U.S. Paralympics Marathon Qualifiers provided each eligible athlete has achieved a 2015 National Team A Standard (track events or marathon) prior to or at the Marathon Qualifier (1 January 2015 – date of Marathon Qualifier) and has achieved the BQS in their respective marathon event (15 October 2014 – date of the Marathon Qualifier).

8

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 qualifies 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 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field.

Who have the highest ranking on the current IPC Athletics 2016 Annual Best Performance Ranking list in the event(s) that he/she is eligible to 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 2015-2016 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):

The athlete must have already been nominated to the team and be entered in at least one individual event.

Building a team that is most likely to medal in the event. The athlete’s commitment to the relay team including the athlete’s

attitude towards the team, physical readiness and participation/performance in relay training sessions.

The athlete’s results leading up to the relay, including the Trials and any at the most current Paralympic Games/World Championships.

The number and schedule of other events in which the athlete will be entered.

9

Guide Athletes Guide athletes will be nominated based on Discretionary Selection as outlined in Section 2.2.

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 by the objective selection (times and distances) from results obtained from Marathon Qualifiers and the 2016 U.S. Paralympics Team Trials-Track and Field. 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. In the event where the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field will not be conducted or fully completed due to natural disaster or other unforeseen circumstance, the entire team will be nominated based on discretionary selection.

2.2. List the discretionary criteria and explain how they will be used (if any): Only the athletes who submit a discretionary selection petition may, but are not required to, be considered by the Discretionary Selection Committee except for in the case of Guide Athletes and the Replacement of Athletes (Section 4). Athletes must submit a discretionary selection petition request in writing to the U.S. Paralympics Track and Field HPD before or no later than one hour following the conclusion of the 2016 U.S. Paralympics Team Trials-Track and Field in order to be considered. Petitions must be submitted in person at the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field or via email sent to the HPD, and must include the reason to be 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. 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 athletes who submit a discretionary selection petition 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):

10

If the athlete experienced an injury or illness that impeded maximal performance during the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field;

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 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field;

If the athlete has achieved at least the BQS at an IPC Athletics Approved Event from 1 January 2016 – the end of the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field and is ranked in the top 8 in their medal event on the Minimum Qualification Standard Ranking List for the 2016 Paralympic Games 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 2016 – the end of the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field and was unable to compete at the 2016 U.S. Paralympic Team Trials-Track and Field due to unforeseen circumstances to be determined by the Discretionary Selection Committee;

The athlete’s likelihood of winning a medal or medals at the 2016 Paralympic Games;

If the IPC changes or makes amendments to the medal events, current rules or qualification criteria;

If the IPC allocates a relay specialist slot. 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.

11

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: Discretionary Selection Committee: Team Leader, Sport Performance High Performance Director, Paralympic Track and Field Associate Director, Paralympic Track and Field National Teams 2016 Paralympic Games Team Coaching Staff (maximum of four) Athlete Representative Athlete Representative 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 nomination 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

12

committee member who declared the conflict of interest does not vote toward the final decision.

3. REMOVAL OF ATHLETES 3.1. Prior to acceptance of nominations by the USOC, U.S. Paralympics has

jurisdiction over potential nominees. An athlete who is to be nominated to the Team by U.S. Paralympics may be removed as a nominee for any of the following reasons, as determined by U.S. Paralympics: 3.1.1. Voluntary withdrawal. Athlete must submit a written letter to the

Director, High Performance, Paralympic Track and Field. 3.1.2. Injury or illness as certified by a physician (or medical staff)

approved by U.S. Paralympics. If an athlete refuses verification of his/her illness or injury by a physician (or medical staff) approved by U.S. Paralympics, his/her injury will be assumed to be disabling and he/she may be removed.

3.1.3. Violation of the U.S. Paralympics Code of Conduct (Attachment A). 3.1.4. Violation of the U.S. Anti-Doping Code or if the athlete is currently

serving a USADA/WADA sanction. 3.1.5. Re-classification by the IPC such that the athlete’s qualifying

performance would not have qualified him or her for the Team. 3.1.6. Removal by the IPC of the event in which the athlete qualified for

the Team from the program of the 2016 Paralympic Games.

An athlete who is removed from the Team pursuant to this provision has the right to a hearing per the USOC Complaint Procedures for U.S. Paralympics National Teams and Paralympic Programs and the USOC’s Bylaws, Section 9.

3.2. Once an athlete nomination is accepted by the USOC, the USOC has jurisdiction over the Team, at which time, in addition to any applicable U.S. Paralympics Code of Conduct, the USOC’s Code of Conduct and Grievance Procedures apply. The USOC’s Code of Conduct and Grievance Procedures can be found at: http://www.teamusa.org/Athlete-Resources/Athlete-Ombudsman/Resources/Code-of-Conduct http://www.teamusa.org/Footer/Legal/Governance-Documents

3.3. An athlete may be removed as a nominee to the Team or from the Team for an adjudicated violation of IOC, PASO, IPC, WADA, IF, USADA and/or USOC anti-doping protocol, policies and procedures, as applicable.

Attachment A

UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE CODE OF CONDUCT

FOR U.S. PARALYMPICS NATIONAL TEAMS

AND U.S. PARALYMPICS PROGRAMS

November 26, 2013

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.

UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE COMPLAINT PROCEDURES

FOR U.S. PARALYMPIC NATIONAL TEAMS

AND U.S. PARALYMPIC PROGRAMS

January 7, 2008

Section 1. Jurisdiction. These Complaint Procedures are applicable to those Paralympic sports in which the USOC has not recognized a National Governing Body or a Paralympic Sport Organization to govern the sport. Only matters concerning those Paralympic sports fall within the jurisdiction of these Complaint Procedures. Section 2. Designation of Complaints. The following kinds of complaints may be filed with the USOC:

a. Administrative Grievance. The USOC or any aggrieved individual may file a complaint pertaining to any matter relating to the cognizance of the USOC, including but not limited to any alleged violation of or grievance concerning any USOC rule, regulation or code of conduct.

b. Right to Compete. Any athlete, coach, trainer, manager, administrator or official may file a

complaint pertaining to any alleged denial, or alleged threat to deny, of that individuals opportunity to compete in a USOC sponsored competition.

Section 3. Manner of Filing. The complainant shall file the complaint with the USOC Chief Executive Officer. The complaint shall set forth in clear and concise language, preferably in numbered paragraphs: (i) the alleged violation, grievance, denial or threat to deny and (ii) the remedy requested. The complainant shall sign the complainant. Section 4. Statute of Limitations. A complaint filed under these Complaint Procedures shall be filed within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the occurrence of the alleged violation, grievance, denial or threat to deny. Section 5. Field of Play Decisions. The final decision of a referee during a competition regarding a field of play decision (a matter set forth in the rules of the competition to be within the discretion of the referee) shall not be reviewable through the procedures for, or the subject of, Administrative Grievances or Right to Compete Complaints unless the decision is: (i) outside the authority of the referee to make or (ii) the product of fraud, corruption, partiality or other misconduct of the referee. For purposes of this Section, the term “referee” shall include any individual with discretion to make field of play decisions. 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.

21

Complaint Procedures January 10, 2008 Page 2 of 3 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. Members of the hearing panel shall have the right to question witnesses or the parties to the proceeding at any time. Any party may have a record made of the hearing. A court reporter may be present at the hearing at the request of a party. The court reporter shall be paid for by the party requesting the court reporter, or if mutually agreed, the cost may be equally divided. 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. Section 10. Complaints Involving Selection to Participate in a Competition. Where a complaint is filed involving selection of an individual to participate in a competition, the complainant shall include with the complaint a list of all other individuals, together with their contact information, that may be adversely affected by a decision rendered on the complaint. The hearing panel shall determine which additional individuals must receive notice of the complaint. The complainant shall then be responsible for providing appropriate notice to these individuals. 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. Any party may appeal a decision of the hearing panel to the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association shall have the authority to hear the matter anew or if requested by a party to render a decision on a more limited review. Either party may submit the
