Talk:Wheelchair rugby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wheelchair rugby already exists, and this seems no different. Is it? - DavidWBrooks 15:00, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Tried to clean the mess that this article was up a bit. However, I think it needs some attention by somebody who actually knows about that sport. --Doco 15:30, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I know something about this sport, and I'll try to clean this page up. I'm new to Wikipedia, however, so please feel free to let me know if I go awry. Eron 20:04, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
It looks like this page has a lot of content quoted directly from quadrugby.com: http://www.quadrugby.com/qr-brief.htm --209.108.217.226 21:07, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
from http://www.paralympics.com/paralympic_sports/wheelchair_rugby.htm
"About Wheelchair Rugby - A relatively new sport which debuted in (the Paralympics held at) Sydney, but one which has got a lot of support worldwide over the last few years. - Also known as Quad Rugby it is played using a volleyball, on a standard basketball court, by 4 players per team (a squad of 12). Players are graded according to level of disability from 0.5 (approximately equal to a C5 tetraplegic) to 3.5 (least impaired) and the team fielded must total 8.0 points or less - similar idea to wheelchair basketball. The teams are not gender specific."
It would seem sesible to put this Paralympic sport above the power version.
It looks like Wheelchair rugby is more closely related to Murder Ball/Murderball than Rugby, right? -- DLeonard 07:14, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
You could be right. Perhaps in should go in the 'ball sports' category.GordyB 11:47, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Category
I've returned this to Category:Rugby as it is neither a form of rugby union nor rugby league but related to both. Similar in my view to say Underwater rugby or Touch rugby.GordyB 14:19, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
