Can I lift out of my chair or tip it while playing?

Q: Can I lift out of my chair or tip it while playing?

Not to gain an advantage. The 2024 IWBF rules say: Lifting: you may not raise your buttocks so that both cheeks are no longer in contact with the seat platform (or the cushion, if one is used) to gain an unfair advantage. This applies when you shoot, rebound or pass, try to block a shot or pass, try to secure a pass, or contest the tap-off at the start of the first quarter. Jumping: you may not cause all parts of your wheelchair to come off the floor while both hands are off the rear wheels. Tipping: it is a violation for a player in control of the ball, or trying to gain control of it, to lean forward or backward so the chair tips and any part of it other than the tires or castors touches the court. Touching the court with any part of your body except your hands is also a violation in that situation. Source: IWBF Official Wheelchair Basketball Rules 2024, Articles 14 and 31.
