Overview of the OWSA Points System
Using world records published as of December 31, 2005, a calculation table will
determine ranking of athletes as per the percentage of the world record attained
through the athlete's performances within their classification. For this 2005-06
carding cycle, results from the 2004 competitive season will be used.
Disciplines and classifications are not differentiated. Top performances
for the athlete's best event will be scored. In the event of a tie, the second
best event will be used, and so on. If the athlete does not have a second best
event, a score of zero (0) will be awarded.
Results achieved at the following events will be used for point tally and qualification:
