About Quad Rugby
Background: Quad Rugby was developed in Canada in the late 70’s and
called murderball due to its full contact and aggressive nature. It entered
the United States in 1982, where its name was changed to Quad Rugby.

Columbus Collision Sponsors
Who: While most Quad Rugby players have sustained cervical spinal cord
injuries resulting in quadriplegia, anyone with a combination of upper and
lower extremity impairment is eligible to play. Teams are comprised of
male and female players.
Classification: After being subject to a thorough muscle function test by a
panel of three medical doctors, physical therapist, and/or occupational
therapist all players are given one of seven classification levels of .5 to 3.5,
based on level of function. Each team plays with four players, whose point
total cannot exceed eight total points. The classification levels help make
everyone an integral part of the team, whether they are .5 or 3.5.
Court: Quad Rugby is played on a regulation basketball court with an 8
meter goal line, with a 1.75 meter by 8 meter key extending from the goal,
at each end of the court.
The Game: It consists of four eight minute quarters. A jump ball begins
the game then teams inbound the ball from the goal line. Teams have 15
seconds to advance across half court with the
ball and 40 seconds from inbound in which to score. The ball must be
dribbled or passed every 10 seconds and can be passed or hit to teammates.
A goal is achieved when a player crosses through the key and gets any two
wheels over the goal line. Only three defensive players are allowed in the
key and offensive players are allowed in the key for no more than 10
seconds at a time. Teams employ various defensive and offensive strategies similar those used in basketball. Fouls are assessed and penalties can
result in goals, one minute penalties or turnovers.
NGB: The sport is governed by the United States Quad Rugby Association
(USQRA) and more information is available at their web site
www.quadrugby.com.
