Para table tennis is a disabled sport which follows the rules set by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). An estimated 330 players are expected to travel to Slovenia to compete for titles in 21 medal events.
The usual table tennis rules are in effect with slight modifications for wheelchair athletes. Athletes from disability groups can take part and are grouped by reference to functional ability, resulting from their impairment. Athletes receive classifications between 1-11. Classes 1-5 are for those in wheelchairs and classes 6-10 for those who have disabilities that allow them to play standing. Class 11 is defined for players with an intellectual disability.
