Why are the associated policies for dAIS eligibility necessary?

The associated policies for dAIS eligibility are to ensure NSO’s have effective policies in place to provide athletes with greater certainty in areas of support, such as dAIS. Historically, the ASC has centrally managed the application of special consideration cases as pregnancy, illness, and injury; however, the AIS acknowledge that all NSOs are different, and therefore NSOs should be responsible for developing their own sport-specific criteria based on specific situations that are unique to their athletes.
