To
encourage fairness among players with different disabilities, each player
is classified according to his or her disability, on a point system that
goes from 1 to 4.5 in half-point increments (i.e. The higher the classification,
the less extreme the disability). A technical foul is assessed if a team
has five players on the court that exceed a total point value of 14.0 points.
From regional, national, international, and Olympic competition, wheelchair
basketball is played all over the world and enjoys continued growth and
popularity. |

Wheelchair
basketball is one of the few sports that can be enjoyed with a standard
every day wheelchair. This sport, like any other sport, offers many custom
wheelchairs for those who want to improve their game play or are into competitive
basketball. For the recreational basketball player, an everyday chair with
the addition of spoke guards will provide an ample chair for a friendly
game of basketball. Gravity defying wheel camber, ultra light weight, front
end wraparound protective bar, tri-wheeled, extremely high and very low
seating are the beginning for the basketball specific competition wheelchair. |

With
a few modifications, wheelchair basketball abides by the same rules as
standard basketball, including court size, basket height and three-second
lane violations in the key area. A player is allowed two pushes of the
wheelchair and then must dribble the basketball at least once.More than
two pushes is considered a traveling violation. A technical foul results
if a player puts his or her feet on the floor or rises out of the chair
to gain an unfair physical advantage. |
