RANKING WITHIN STEPS 6 and 7 Within steps 6 and 7, athletes will be ranked by the NTC in priority order based on an athlete’s proximity to the 2017 IPC 3rd ranked athlete’s performance as of September 30th, 2017. In order to account for differences in event performance measures, a proximity score will be calculated as such:

- All performances will be standardized using the 2017 IPC World Para Athletics Points Scores Calculator [found here: https://www.paralympic.org/athletics/events/rules-and-regulations] - Athletes will be scored based on the event contested at the Paralympic Games (including those in Combined Classes being scored based on the Combined Class rankings and performances) - The 2017 IPC 3rd ranked athlete’s performance as of September 30th, 2017 will also be scored using the 2017 IPC World Para Athletics Points Scores Calculator. - The percentage of the athlete’s standardized seasonal best points as compared to the IPC 3rd ranked athlete’s points will stand as their proximity score. - Athletes will then be ranked in order of their proximity score.

Step 6 Athletes eligible for Development Cards ranked in the IPC Top 16 (and top ½ of the field) in an individual event in 2017 in an event as per the 2020 Paralympic Games program will be considered for nomination by the NTC.
