Class III athletes have functional limitations in trunk movement in the frontal plane. They use one hand to hold the handrim when leaning to the opposite side.
Class IV athletes use their legs, moving their feet and thighs to one side. They use both arms in rebound situations even if they are leaning out to the side.
PRIMARY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CLASS IV AND NON-DISABLED PEOPLE
Class IV athletes have no fair chance to compete with non-disabled people because they are unable to run fast or jump with both legs.
CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURE
The classification procedure starts with observation during the game. The observers try to identify the appropriate classes of the players according to an observation manual. The quality of performance is not the subject of the observation. Subsequently, players are informed of the observation results and, for dubious and borderline cases, further functional and medical tests may be required.

NEW CLUBS
New clubs entering the National League will be put in the lowest division, at present the Third Division, and will not be required to play to a point system for the first year. After the fulfilment of one year those clubs will play to the classification system as is appropriate for their division. Super League and First Divisions play to 14 points, Second and Third Divisions play to 15 points and the Fourth Division and Women's League play to 16 points.

The Fourth Division is played over a shorter season and is run more as a development league, providing new clubs their first opportunity to play competitive basketball. New clubs are encouraged to enter the Third Division if they wish to play a balanced programme of league fixtures.
