Chapter V of the UCI Cycling Regulations specify the assessment methodology and assessment criteria for the allocation of a Sport Class and the designation of Sport Class Status. 

## 16.4.011 Classification Not Completed 

(article introduced on 01.02.18) 

If at any stage of Athlete Evaluation, the UCI or a Classification Panel is unable to allocate a Sport Class to an Athlete, the Head of Classification or the relevant Chief Classifier may designate that Athlete as Classification Not Completed (CNC). 

The designation Classification Not Completed (CNC) is not a Sport Class and is not subject to the provisions in these Classification Rules concerning Protests. The designation Classification Not Completed (CNC) will however be recorded for the purpose of the UCI Classification Master List. 

An Athlete who is designated as Classification Not Completed (CNC) may not compete in the sport of para-cycling until Athlete Evaluation is completed (provided the Athlete is allocated a Sport Class other than Not Eligible in accordance with these Classification Rules).
