The classification system allows players to compete against others with a similar level of function.

The events are men's and women's team and individual competitions for the various disability classifications.

There will be 264 athletes (168 male, 96 female) taking part in this sport.

This ranking sorts countries by the number of gold medals earned by their players (in this context a country is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee).

If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically.
