But Beets, your game must have had some rules.
1)A goal is when the ball goes in the net.
2)A game starts when someone says go and ends when the bell rings.
3)When a goal is scored the ball goes back to the starting position.
4)Don't score against your own team.

admittedly there aren't many and I'm guessing at a couple of them but...

Isn't a quadriplegic completely paralyzed? Those people look like they have hands, at least.

Many people think quadriplegics have no control over their four limbs, like Christopher Reeve, but most of them retain some degree of movement. Their level of disability is rated on a scale from 0.5 to 3.5, and a team can have a total of eight points on the court at once. This leads to an ironic paradox: The athletes spend their lives overcoming and diminishing their disabilities, and then hope for higher handicaps. Roger Ebert, Murderball review
