Classes 6–10 were for athletes with a physical impairment in their upper body, and who compete in a standing position.

The lower the number, the greater the impact the impairment was on an athlete's ability to compete.

The winners and runners-up of each group qualified for the knock-out stage.

In this edition of the Games, no bronze medal match was held.

The losers of each semifinal were automatically awarded a bronze medal.
