Players of what is also called "wheelchair rugby" all have some degree of quadriplegia. Depending on their level of impairment, they are given a classification number between 0.5 and 3.5. Four players at a time from each team are allowed on the basketball court, with a total of no more than 8.0 impairment points among them. Players pass a volleyball back and forth, attempting to cross the goal line. The game, played since 1979, now has more than 45 national and 22 international teams.
