In Quad Rugby, each player is assigned a number of points based on their level of physical function. To keep the game fair, each team is allow to have a total of eight points on the court at one time. These points are divided among four players. The highest point value a single player is permitted to have is 3.5. This means that a person would have much use of their hands, arms and torso. The lowest point value a person can have and play is 0.5 -- this means that a person will not have use of their torso muscles, and will have minimal use of their arms and upper body. The cards pictured above are used to identify each player and their assigned point level so that the tournament officials can certify that a team does not exceed its point limit.
