What equipment do I need, and what are the tags?

Question

Accepted Answer

Wheelchair: a designated sports wheelchair with bumpers and anti-tip wheels in place. The highest point of the seat platform, including any cushion, can be no more than 63 cm from the floor. Strapping: you must be strapped into your chair (lap, knees and feet), disability permitting, at all times during play. Wheels: you must stay upright and in control of the chair with both pushing wheels in contact with the ground, and you may not throw yourself forward to gain an advantage. Jersey: a numbered jersey of distinctive colour, with a Velcro patch on the top of each sleeve (80 mm by 50 mm). Tags: you wear two tags, one on each shoulder, at all times. Tags are 300 mm long and 50 mm wide, lie vertically down the arm, and must not clash with the colour of the sleeves. A team uses the same colour tags for all players, and the two teams must use different colours. Protective clothing: allowed if it contains nothing rigid or dangerous. Limited movement: a player with limited movement wears a distinctive, clearly visible armband.
