Archery Sport Classes for Classification Purposes  \nArchery will be comprised of the following classes  \n- W1  \n- W2  \n- ST  \n- VI  \n- NE  \n2. Functional Classification System  \nThis classification system uses disability profiles and a numerical calculation of the ability to walk as a guideline.  \n3. Locomotor Disabilities  \n3.1. All movement abilities are tested by the:  \n- Assessment of points for muscle strength testing and/or  \n- Assessment of points for co-ordination testing and/or  \n- Assessment of points for joint mobility.  \n3.2. 320 Points have been allocated to an able-bodied archer  \nThis total is used to calculate the relevant classification.  \nBody segments  \n- Arms 180  \n- Trunk 40  \n- Legs 100  \n- Total 320  \n3.3. The minimal handicap to be eligible to compete is either  \n- a loss of 25 points in the arms  \n- or a loss of 20 points in the trunk  \n- or a loss of 25 points in the lower limbs  \n- Amputation of the forearm above the wrist [no wrist joint present]  \n- Amputation into the lower 1/3 of the leg above the ankle [no ankle joint present]  \n3.4. Observation of the archer shooting follows and updates the points calculation assessments  \nThis will demonstrate the functional abilities applied in the shooting. The classifiers require access to the field of play at all times  \n4. Classification Procedure  \n4.1. Each International classification team shall consist a minimum of 2 authorised International classifiers, at least one of them having a medical background [e.g. physiotherapist or doctor.]  \n4.1.1. There must not be a panel of 2 International Classifier Candidates.  \n4.1.2. For World Ranking Tournaments it is recommended that a minimum of 1 panel is present, for Paralympics, World Championships & Regional Championships 2 panels will be required to be compliant with the IPC Classification Code. If possible a classifier will not be involved in the classification of an archer from their own country, this will not always be possible and in this case, the classification will be on review status.  \nIf due to unforeseen last minute problems [e.g. missed flight or illness within the last 48 hours] the classification can proceed with one classifier. In this case, classification will be on review status.  \n4.2. A National Classification may be completed by one person.  \n4.3. Complete personal details must appear on the Classification Report.  \n4.4. A Medical Report must be submitted making use of the Medical Intake Form. Template is available on WA web site.  \nIf no medical report is submitted then classification will not take place and the archer will not be allowed to compete in the tournament.  \n4.5. Testing is to be done on a horizontal medical testing bench maintaining professional codes of conduct.  \n4.5.1. Use of the Daniels & Worthingham or Kendall Manual Muscle Testing Methods.  \n4.6. Perform the Bench Test: appropriate test(s) from the following tests have to be selected.  \n- Assessment of points for muscle testing and/or  \n- Assessment of points for dysfunction (co-ordination) testing and/or  \n- Assessment of points for joint mobility  \n- Any combination which demonstrates the archers disability can be used  \n- Type of amputations & indicating any other loss of functional ability  \n4.7. For the archer who has multiple disabilities the tester assesses which of the disabilities (muscle strength, coordination, range of movement) is functionally more severe and then test accordingly.  \n4.7.1. Make a note of anything not covered by the wording on the form.  \n4.8. Make a note of the assistive devices, providing they are allowed within the rules.  \n4.9. Perform the shooting test and if necessary update the point assessment  \nNote: it is very important to complete the shooting test when the shoulder function is affected.  \n4.10.
