| General Principles For Classification |
|
 |
I.B.A.D Shall determine a classification system based on the functional ability to perform basic tasks in Badminton. Functional ability should be considered independently of level of skill or training of the player. |

|
|
|

|
|
|

| Eligibility of Competitors |
|
|
A competitor who cannot participate on reasonably equal terms in badminton for “able-bodied” because of a functional disadvantage due to a permanent disability is eligible for badminton. |
|
|
|
The minimum handicap is determined in badminton, depending on functional factors. |
|
|
|
In order to take part in a competition a player must be classifiable according to the I.B.A.D classification rules. |
|
|
|
If, in the opinion of the Classification Committee, a competitor is not classifiable by virtue of changing disability, a disability that is not recognizable, or failure to cooperate in the classification process, then the competitor shall be declared not eligible to compete. Failure to cooperate in the classification process shall be determined on the basis of changing performance, NOT considerations of deliberate attempts to mislead the classifiers. |
