3. GENERAL IPC REGULATIONS ON ELIGIBILITY
In addition to each IF’s own sport-specific athlete eligibility criteria, the IPC hasestablished a set of general eligibility criteria that apply to all participants in the
Paralympic Games. These general regulations are derived from the IPC Handbook.
They ensure that the fundamental rights and obligations of the IPC and its
membership are recognised and protected. The general IPC regulations on
eligibility are as follows:
IPC MEMBERSHIP
Only NPCs in good standing with the IPC may enter duly qualified and eligible
athletes in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. NPCs are also reminded that each
NF must be in good standing with the NF’s respective IF, as required by that IF.
COMPLIANCE WITH IPC NATIONALITY REGULATIONS
Any athlete in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games must comply with the provisionsof the IPC Nationality Regulations published in the IPC Handbook.
MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT
No minimum age limit for athletes competing in the Paralympic Games is stipulatedby the IPC on a general basis. However, NPCs must note that an age limit may beestablished by IFs through their own sport-specific rules and athlete eligibility
criteria (including those set out in the sport-specific sections of these Regulations).
While the Paralympic Games welcomes the world’s youth with an impairment,
NPCs are encouraged to send to the Paralympic Games only athletes who are
adequately prepared for high performance competition.
UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEING TO THE CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION
To be eligible for participation in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games all athletesmust sign, and agree to comply with, the IPC Conditions of Participation
Agreement. This agreement is part of the NPC registration process.
NPC SELECTION STANDARDSThe IPC recognises and respects the right of NPCs to establish their own national
selection standards for determining the qualification of an athlete or team tocompete in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Such standards must be compliant
with those established by the IPC as well as those of each respective IF. Anynational selection standards must also align with confirmation dates andadministrative deadlines of the Organising Committee of the Olympic and

INTERNATIONAL PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE

8Paralympic Games (OCOG). All athletes and teams are equally subject to theirrespective NPC’s selection standards.
COMPLIANCE WITH CLASSIFICATION RULES
Only qualified athletes who meet the relevant IF’s sport-specific classification
rules and have an appropriate sport class and sport class status will be eligible
for entry in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. It is the responsibility of each NPC
to ensure that its athletes are appropriately classified in their respective sports
prior to entry and that each athlete holds a sport class and sport class status thatcomplies with the IF’s eligibility requirements as published in these Regulations. In
particular, an athlete is only eligible to be entered in an event that is open to theirrespective sport class under the relevant IF’s rules.

4. BIPARTITE COMMISSION INVITATIONS
While the primary method of implementing the Paralympic Games guiding
principles (set out in the IPC Handbook) is through the standard qualification
methods, the IPC and certain IFs have also sought to provide targeted
qualification slot allocations through Bipartite Commission Invitations. Bipartite
Commission Invitations are included in the overall athlete quotas of the relevant
sports chapters as set out below.
Subject to the following, Bipartite Commission Invitations are granted by the IPC
in its sole discretion following engagement with the relevant IF. To be eligible fora Bipartite Commission Invitation, in all circumstances:(a)(b)

an athlete must meet the general IPC regulations on eligibility above andthe IF’s own sport-specific eligibility criteria below; andan athlete must meet the relevant IF’s classification eligibility requirements
and may only be granted a Bipartite Commission Invitation in relation to an
event that is open to their respective sport class under the relevant IF’s
rules.

While at the sole discretion of the IPC, Bipartite Commission Invitations may
typically consider the following factors:
•

•
•
•
•

allowing the participation of top athletes who may not have had theopportunity to qualify through other methods due to extraordinary
circumstances;
ensuring the representation of athletes with high support needs;
enabling greater representation by gender;
ensuring medal events will have sufficient representation for event viability
purposes; and/or
optimising the presentation of a particular contest within its competition
format and schedule.

INTERNATIONAL PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE

9Each Bipartite Commission Invitation is granted to an individual athlete, not to therespective NPC. All Bipartite Commission Invitation decisions are final with noopportunity for protest or appeal.
Where applicable, the timeline for submission and acceptance of Bipartite
Commission Invitation applications is set out in the relevant IF’s chapter of theseRegulations.

5. REDISTRIBUTION OF VACANT QUALIFICATIONSLOTSEach IF confirms in writing to the NPCs the allocation of qualification slots that
their teams and athletes have obtained. The NPCs then must confirm acceptanceof their allocated slots by the deadline established in each IF’s chapter of theseRegulations. Any qualification slots not used by an NPC will be reallocatedaccording to the method outlined in the respective IF’s chapter of theseRegulations.
Qualification slots that cannot be reallocated by the established deadlines or
become vacant (following the reallocation deadline) may be redistributed at thesole discretion of the IPC to any sport on the programme and across gendercategories. However, in all circumstances slot redistributions cannot be used tooverride:a)the general IPC regulations on eligibility above; orb)
the IF’s classification eligibility requirements, and slot redistributions may
only be granted in relation to an event that is open to the athlete’s
respective sport class under the IF’s rules.
Each slot redistribution is granted to an individual athlete, not to the respective
NPC. All redistribution decisions are final with no opportunity for protest or appeal.

6. UNIVERSALITY WILD CARDS
In each edition of the Paralympic Games, the IPC aims to further the Paralympic
Games guiding principle of universality and ensure representation of a maximum
number of eligible member NPCs. This slot provision is called the Universality Wild
Card (UWC) method and is by IPC invitation only.
UWC invitations are granted by the IPC in its sole discretion, and no athlete or NPC
is entitled to receive a UWC. UWC invitations may be extended by the IPC if an
NPC has either: (a) been unable to qualify any athletes; or (b) has obtained only
one qualification slot across all sports on the Games Programme. A maximum of
one male UWC and one female UWC may be granted if an NPC has been unable
to qualify any athletes. A maximum of one female UWC may be granted if an NPC

INTERNATIONAL PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE

10
has obtained only one qualification slot (irrespective of the gender associatedwith the slot).
In order to be considered for a UWC an athlete must meet the following criteria:
•
•

•

•

comply with the general IPC regulations on eligibility above;
comply with the relevant IF’s classification eligibility requirements, andUWC invitations may only be granted in relation to an event that is open to
the athlete’s respective sport class under the IF’s rules;
meet all the IF’s other sport-specific eligibility criteria (unless any such
eligibility criteria are expressly waived by the IPC as part of the invitation);andbe on the Accreditation Long List as described under Key Dates below.

Each UWC invitation is granted to an individual athlete, not to the respective NPC.
If an NPC qualifies athletes via the regular qualification pathways after one of its
athletes has been granted a UWC, that UWC is revoked and the athlete who
qualified via the regular qualification pathway obtains the slot instead.
UWC invitations fall outside the athlete quotas by sport as published in theseRegulations.
For the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games the IPC will only consider granting UWCs in
the following sports:••

Para athletics
Para swimming

All UWC decisions are final with no opportunity for protest or appeal.
The IPC will open the UWC application process around six months prior to the Paris2024 Paralympic Games (in the spring of 2024).

ALLOCATION OF QUALIFICATION SLOTS
An athlete may only obtain a maximum of one qualification slot. The qualification
slot is allocated to the NPC not to the individual athlete with the exception of
Bipartite Commission Invitation slots which are allocated to the individual athlete
not to the NPC.
To ensure all medal events on the programme are viable at the Paris 2024
Paralympic Games, World Para Athletics (WPA) reserves the right – through any
allocation method - to allocate slots to the exclusive use of certain sport classes
determined by WPA, for example for athletes with high support needs. Such (“ringfenced”) slots shall be used as allocated or the respective NPC must return the slot
to WPA.
MAXIMUM QUOTA ALLOCATION PER NPC
An NPC can be allocated a maximum of forty (40) male qualification slots andthirty-three (33) female qualification slots. Exceptions may be granted through the
Bipartite Commission Invitation method. If an NPC is unable to use all of theallocated qualification slots in a given gender, the unused slots cannot betransferred to the other gender. They will be reallocated in the respective genderto other NPCs through the Bipartite Commission Invitation method.

INTERNATIONAL PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE
