A certain committee will give athletes who can take part in this sport an eight-level-score specific to basketball, ranging from 1 to 4.5. Lower scores represent a larger disability. The sum score of all players on the court cannot exceed 14.

[edit] Qualification

There will be 12 male teams and 10 female teams taking part in this sport.
