		The International Wheelchair Basketball Federation is the international sanctioning body for wheelchair basketball.
		The system of classification is based mainly on the ability of an athlete to recognize the player's physical ability to execute fundamental movements in wheelchair basketball, such as: to push the wheelchair, to dribble, to pass, to control the ball, to shoot for a basket and to react in rebounding situations.
		In 1984, during the PARALYMPIC GAMES, wheelchair basketball was played for the first time using this system.

	Welcome to Sports N' Spokes
		The International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) is concerned about the potential doubt these events cast on the credibility of Paralympic sports in general and basketball in particular.
		In 1998, IWBF’s World Congress passed a regulation whereby teams could submit medical documentation substantiating the nature of players’ disabilities a full six months prior to a scheduled competition in order to obtain conditional eligibility, with further follow-up and observation at the tournament.
		IWBF maintains centralized records of each player’s classification, aids used, and seating position.
