SIX BASIC RULES TO WHEELCHAIR TAG RUGBY

1. As in Rugby League the ball must be passed backwards.
   
   
2. Tackles are made by removing opponents' tags. Or, if they don't have any tags, by touching their shoulder. Or stopping their forward progress.
   
   
3. To play the ball is done by touching the floor with the ball and passing to a team mate. If through size or disability you cannot reach the floor you may start by touching the wheel of your chair. The same rule applies to try scoring.
   
   
4. The restart after a try is scored is by the team who have just conceded tapping the ball on the halfway line, thereby keeping possession.
   
   
5. If a player falls out of their chair the game is stopped at the next break in play so that they can get back in - for safety reasons.
   
   
6. The game is started with 5 players per side and is of two forty-minute halves.
