Raza point score system

The Raza point score system is a method in Paralympic athletics field competitions for comparing throws or jumps by athletes of differing levels of disability. In events where athletes of multiple different classifications compete, performances are converted to point scores by a formula which accounts for the athletes' classifications.[1] This means that a more disabled athlete may beat a less disabled competitor with a slightly shorter throw or jump.
