Once an athlete receives a classification, they are added to the Australian Athletics Masterlist.
In Australia, athletes compete in multi-class events using a baseline scoring system. It gives a simplified way to compare performances across all athletes with an eligible classification. Baseline uses a base time, distance or height in each class for each contestable event, and measures the athlete's performance against it as a percentage to generate a percentage score.
