Abstract

A fair and inclusive competition depends on a scoring system that takes all relevant factors into account. We analysed the current World Para Point System for swimming and identified several theoretical and practical disadvantages. We propose and test a Fair World Para Point System that not only improves the algorithm, but also extends it to accommodate for the age of the athlete. It also provides a method to break point ties. This will enable para masters swimmers for the first time to compete fairly with each other. We also develop and publish tools that enable event organisers to directly use the Fair World Para Point System.

公平的世界游泳大师积分系统

公平和包容的竞赛取决于考虑到所有相关因素的计分系统。我们分析了现行的世界残疾人游泳积分系统，发现了一些理论和实践上的弊端。我们提出并测试了一种公平的世界残疾人积分系统，该系统不仅改进了算法，还扩展了算法以适应运动员的年龄。它还提供了一种打破积分并列的方法。这将使残疾人游泳大师首次能够相互公平竞争。我们还开发并发布了一些工具，使赛事组织者能够直接使用公平世界残疾人积分系统。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
