What references to dAIS need to be included in a NSO sport-specific Athlete Categorisation Framework?

The NSO Athlete Categorisation Framework must cover:

  • Performance criteria against each dAIS level;
  • Annual benchmark events, World Championships, and other key selection events that may be considered as part of their assessment/reassessment process;
  • How the NSO will deal with Team and Relay athlete nominations for dAIS support;
  • Any additional performance standards or progression benchmarks that athletes will need to meet at each Athlete Categorisation level to be nominated for dAIS support;
  • Any qualifying criteria to assess athletes’ performances against the depth of competition at events being used for assessment;
  • Any other non-performance-related factors that may be determining factors in the level of dAIS support offered;
  • Associated Policies for Injury, Illness, Pregnancy, and Transition policies; and
  • Appeals process.

Any adjustments to this Framework must be agreed with the ASC before being applied.
