There will be no speed control of the electric sports weehlchair at the tournament. We believe in the game of "fair play". There will be no classification system. A team may start a match with a lower number of players while maintaining rule number 607. However, they are not entitled to any concessions. Rule 607 on the number of players will remain. No accreditation card is required. Personal assistants or the coach may open the boundaries when substituting players.
In the case that two or more teams have the same number of points at the end of all group games, the following ancillary criteria will determine the final standings:
-
Higher number of points scored in the PRELIMINARY group.
-
Goal difference in the PRELIMINARY group.
-
Higher number of goals scored in the PRELIMINARY group.
-
Higher goal difference in all matches in the PRELIMINARY group.
-
Higher number of goals scored in the PRELIMINARY group.
