Competition format Teams consisted of twelve players, of whom five were on court at any one time. Each player was rated between 0.5 and 4.5 points based on the extent of their disability, with 4.5 representing the least physical limitation. The sum of the rates of all players on court at any time was limited to 14.5 points per team.
As their Olympic Counterpart, the Games were played in four periods of ten minutes, with extra time periods of five minutes added as necessary to resolve a tied game.
