BC2 (classification)

In 2000, BBC Sport defined this classification as "in class 2 those with poor functional strength in all extremities and trunk but able to propel a wheelchair.

[6] One of the disability groups in this classification is boccia with cerebral palsy, including CP-ISRA CP1 classified players.

This policy was put into place in 2014, with the goal of avoiding last minute changes in classes that would negatively impact athlete training preparations.

All competitors needed to be internationally classified with their classification status confirmed prior to the Games, with exceptions to this policy being dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

[21] Competitors in this classification include Nigel Murray of Great Britain who won the country's first Paralympic gold medal in the sport in 2000.

[23] The classification officer for the Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association is Joan Steele-Mills.

The competitor seeking classification needs to bring identification and all equipment necessary to participate in boccia.

When a boccia competitor has been classified in the lead up to a major international championship, the relevant sporting bodies have 60 minutes from the end of the classification to protest it.

Otherwise, if a competitor is classified outside of an event period, the relevant sporting organisations have thirty days after the last competition in which to file a protest.

The relevant sporting body may also file a protest in a period of more than sixty days before the competitor is supposed to participate in an international event.
