The IWBF Classification Commission plays a vital role in ensuring fairness and consistency in wheelchair basketball by overseeing the classification of players. As outlined in the IWBF’s Internal Regulations, the commission is responsible for developing and maintaining the Official Player Classification Manual, in alignment with the IPC Athlete Classification Code. It also proposes rule amendments and provides interpretations of classification guidelines to ensure accurate application.
In addition to its regulatory duties, the commission manages the training, examination, and qualification of international classifiers and classifier examiners, ensuring that high standards are upheld across all levels of competition. It also maintains comprehensive records of player classifications, enhancing transparency and accountability throughout the classification process.
By maintaining these standards, the Classification Commission ensures that wheelchair basketball remains equitable and competitive, with athletes classified appropriately.
