In Paralympic wheelchair rugby, how many points is a try worth?

In Paralympic wheelchair rugby, a try is worth one point.

A team scores a try when an athlete carrying the ball crosses the opponent’s goal line with two wheels of the wheelchair and control of the ball. The scoring system is deliberately straightforward: each successful try adds one point to the team’s total.

Wheelchair rugby is played by two teams of four athletes on a basketball-sized court. Players may pass, dribble or carry the ball, while wheelchair contact is a central part of the game. Matches consist of four eight-minute quarters.

The sport was originally known as murderball, a nickname referring to its intense wheelchair contact. It became a Paralympic medal sport at the 2000 Sydney Games. Its scoring differs from wheelchair basketball, where baskets have different point values.
