Wheelchair Rugby players are given points based upon their amount of available movement. Players with the least movement score lower than those with more.

A Team is made up of four players that can be in any combination as long as their points total does not exceed a total of 8.

Teams are allowed half a point extra for each LP* female player on court and full point extra for each HP† female player.

*LP = Lower Points
