Language Services
The purpose of International Relations and Language Services is to ensure that guests from
more than 165 countries who speak 71 different languages can fully communicate, participate
and relate to each other without any language impediment. Language Services will provide
translation and interpretation services before and during the World Games. Multilingual Sport
volunteers will be available in every competition venue.
1.6
Medical Services
LA2015 will provide multiple levels of medical care as needed for all athletes participating in
the World Games as well as provide basic first aid to spectators and non-athletes attending
the World Games. The goal of the LA2015 Medical Team is to act in the best interest of the
individual, strive to return the athlete to the sporting event in an efficient and timely manner,
and provide all individuals a seamless transition into the community health care system if
necessary.
Medical Services will provide comprehensive treatment from initial intervention to definitive
care and discharge. The primary functions provided by Medical Services for athletes and
Delegation Members include:
Triage at the Field of Play
Treatment of Minor Injuries
Referral for Urgent Care at the Poly Clinic
Referral for Acute Care
Follow-up Care
Overnight Care at Accommodations Venues
Completion of the athlete medical form, which includes a physical exam, is mandatory for
each athlete to register and participate in the World Games and must be completed by a
physician prior to arriving in LA.
5
MedFest
MedFest, a Special Olympics Healthy Athletes program discipline, will operate on the USC
and UCLA campuses on July 24 and 25 to provide comprehensive sport physicals to clear
athletes for competition. In order to ensure the health of the athletes, they may only compete
if they submit complete and accurate athlete medical forms and once the LA2015 Medical
Team has cleared them.
Athlete Injuries On Field Of Play
A participant who is suspected of sustaining a concussion in a practice, game or competition
shall be removed from practice, play or competition at that time. During the World Games a
qualified medical professional will be available to render an evaluation, that person shall have
final authority as to the removal or return to play of the participant. The participants parent,
coach or guardian will be made aware that the participant is suspected of sustaining a
concussion.
A participant who has been removed from practice, play or competition due to a suspected
concussion may not participate in World Games sports activities until either of the following
occurs:
At least seven (7) consecutive days have passed since the participant was removed
from play and a currently licensed, qualified medical professional provides written
clearance for the participant to return to practice, play and competition; or
A currently licensed, qualified medical professional determines that the participant did
not suffer a concussion and provides written clearance for the participant to return to
practice play immediately. Written clearance in either of the scenarios above shall
become a permanent record.
The World Games Medical Team will utilize the ImPACT Concussion Management IDD Model
as the measurement tool. ImPACT IDD addresses the need for an accurate, medically
accepted assessment system that is used as part of an overall concussion management
protocol. ImPACT IDD at the World Games will follow these steps:
1. Athletes with prior head injuries, or who have experienced loss of consciousness,
and those competing in high impact sports will be required to complete a baseline
assessment evaluation during MedFest.
2. Athlete sustains injury and concussion is suspected.
3. Athletes with suspected head injuries during the Games will be evaluated and readministered ImPACT evaluation within 24 to 36 hours of injury to assess the level
of injury.
4. The World Games Medical Team will provide an assessment to determine if the
athlete is ready for non-contact activity.
5. Upon further assessment, the athlete may be determined safe to return to play.
Medical Protocols
All Medical personnel will be following Medical Protocols that Kaiser Permanente Physicians
have created. They include everything from Serious Conditions (heart problems, head
6
injuries, broken bones, etc.) to Common Conditions (Allergies sunburns, scrapes, etc.) and
lastly Behavioral Health conditions. These protocols will be distributed to all levels of care at
the World Games.

Competition Regulations
The official Special Olympics Sports Rules for Aquatics (Swimming) shall govern all Special
Olympics competitions. As an international sports program, Special Olympics has created
these rules based upon Fdration Internationale de Natation (FINA) rules for Aquatics
(Swimming) found at http://www.fina.org. FINA rules shall be employed except when they are
in conflict with the official Special Olympics Sports Rules for Swimming or Article I. In such
cases, the official Special Olympics Sports Rules for Aquatics (Swimming) shall apply.
Please refer to Article I, http://media.specialolympics.org/resources/sportsessentials/general/2014-Article-I.pdf for more information pertaining to Codes of Conduct,
Training Standards, Medical and Safety Requirements, Divisioning, Awards, Criteria for
Advancement to Higher Levels of Competition and Unified Sports.
3.10
Divisioning
Athletes/Teams will be divisioned according to the official Special Olympics Rules during the
2015 Special Olympics World Games to ensure fair competition. The divisioning process will
make every attempt to yield no fewer than three (3) and no more than eight (8)
athletes/teams per division. Athletes/Teams will be divisioned based on gender, age and
ability, with ability being the primary factor.
It is very important for athletes/teams to come to the Games with experience competing in
their events.
3.11
Points of Emphasis
Initial divisioning will be based on entry times submitted on the athletes registration form
or an improved performance submitted by the Head Coach at Final Declaration.
In preparing divisions for final events, the athletes preliminary event performances or
approved Improved Performance, shall be used.
3.12
It is the responsibility of the Coach to assure that the final divisioning time is a true
reflection of the athlete's ability. If the time recorded in the divisioning competition is not a
true reflection of the athletes best ability, the Coach or the Delegation representative
shall submit an Improved Performance Request to the Competition Management Team.
Knowing an athletes/teams best entry times can be valuable aids in helping an
athlete/team avoid disqualification for a Maximum Effort Rule violation.
The Improved Performance Requests may only be accepted in the official request form
and submitted within 30 minutes following the official posting of the divisioning event.
All protests must be filed no later than 30 minutes after the final results are posted.
Athlete Uniform
Athletes are required to wear swimsuits according to the guidelines of the International
Aquatics Federation (Federation Internationale de Natation Amateur (FINA). Referees
have the authority to exclude any competitor whose swimsuit does not comply with the
FINA guidelines. (The only exception to competitors swim attire will be if the swimmer has
a medical or religious reason, which restricts them from complying with this rule.
Delegations will be required to submit in writing reasons for an exemption to this rule).
All relay teams must be in the same team attire, and the suits must be of the same color
with the same team logo.
Swim caps are required and teams competing in relay events must wear swim caps of the
same color and team logo.
All athletes and Coaches must wear pool shoes or flip-flops on the pool deck area.
No national flags are permitted on the athletes uniform, caps, swimsuits, towels, etc.

commercial messages, other than "normal commercial markings" of the clothing
manufacturer. Normal commercial markings include:

logo or commercial name per clothing item is permissible, if that name or logo display
does not exceed an area of six square inches or 38.7 square centimeters (such as a
display measuring 2" x 3" or 5.08 cm x 7.62 cm).
17
o On small clothing items, such as caps, socks, hats, gloves and belts, one logo or
commercial name per clothing item is permissible, if that name or display does not
exceed an area of three square inches or 19.35 square centimeters.
o On athletic shoes, no logos or commercial names are permissible except for names or
logos, which are included by the manufacturer on athletic shoes that are sold to the
general public.
