Wheelchair basketball at the 1968 Summer Paralympics consisted of men's and "women's team events."
The original wheelchair basketball classification system in 1966 had 5 classes: A, "B," C, "D," S. Each class was worth so many points. A was worth 1, B and C were worth 2. D and S were worth 3 points. A team could have a maximum of 12 points on the "floor." This system was the one in place for the 1968 Summer Paralympics. Class A was for T1-T9 complete. Class B was for T1-T9 incomplete. Class C was for T10-L2 complete. Class D was for T10-L2 incomplete. Class S was for Cauda equina paralysis.
