Several problems arise in wheelchair basketball rules, even though it has the oldest history of all adapted sports. Some researchers have described wheelchair basketball concerning several common areas, including history, classification system, and problems. We found that there were some serious problems in the classification system of wheelchair basketball. There are 8 classes according to players' function, disability, and handicap, and these classes seem to lead to a fair classification that enables all handicapped people to play equally, except for classes 2.5 and 3.5. The definitions of classes 2.5 and 3.5 are vague compared with other classes. It seems difficult to distinguish classes 2.5 from 2 and 3, and similarly, classes 3.5 from 3 and 4. To ensure fairness in wheelchair basketball games, we need to reexamine the half point classification system.
