ATHLETES COMPETING IN MULTI CLASS EVENTS 

• Classification Requirement:

  • Athletes with a physical disability must hold at least a Provisional Classification status.

  • All other disability classes must have the athlete’s name listed on the relevant organisation Masterlist prior to competition.

  • Acceptable master lists include the Athletics Australia National Classification or Sport Inclusion Australia Masterlist.

• Unclassified Athletes:

  • Athletes without the correct classification, or who have only commenced the application process, may compete as Exhibition competitors.

  • Exhibition competitors are not eligible for medals or team selection.

• Meet Manager Data Requirement:

  • The athlete’s classification must follow their surname in brackets in Meet Manager 

• Event Restrictions:

  • TF40 & TF41 Classes: No longer eligible for the 800m or Long Jump events.

    • These events have been removed by Athletics Australia due to no international opportunities and insufficient baseline data for scoring.

  • Frame Runners / Race Runners (TR71 & TR72): Restricted to the 100m race only.

    • To compete with a frame, athletes must have the correct classification.

• Additional Opportunities:

  • Multi Class competitors may also enter standard events.

Multi Class Events – Scoring & Placings

• Scoring System:

  • Placings for Multi Class events will be determined using the Athletics Australia 2025/26 BASELINE Multi Class Scoring System.

  • BASELINE applies a base time, distance, or height for each classification and event, then measures an athlete’s performance as a percentage of the base standard.

  • This generates a Percentage Point Score (%) for comparison across classifications.

Calculations

• Track Events:

  • % = (Baseline Time / Competitor Time) × 100

• Field Events:

  • % = (Competitor Distance / Baseline) × 100

Placings & Qualification

• Results within each age division will be ranked according to Percentage Point Score (%).

• First place is awarded to the athlete with the highest percentage.

• The top three (3) percentages in each event may qualify for the MacKillop Athletics Team to compete at the NSWPSSA State Athletics Championship, provided:

  • The athlete holds a valid official classification and meet the selection qualifying standards.
