Change to format

Both men's and women's tournaments were used to qualify ten teams each for the 2020 Summer Paralympics.[3] On 19 November 2021, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) announced that during the 2024 Summer Paralympics,all the team sports would only have 8 participating teams for both men and women.[4] This might reduce the round-robin games of two divisions with four pools in total, for two sexes, from 40 to 24 games.[5]
