Scoring

Since many of the disabilities can be widely different in this sport, before they officially rank your time, they have to multiply the time by a certain number according to something called a factor. For Instance, a paralympian that had lost a hand might go faster than a visually impaired person in the race but due to factor they would have to have their times evened out a bit to give a chance to the less fortunate paralympians.
