日本車いすラグビー連盟（以下、JWRF）では、現地時間7月14日(木)〜17日(日)にアメリカ・バーミングハムで行われる2022 World Gamesで行われる公開競技のひとつ「車いすラグビー」に日本代表が出場することをお知らせいたします。
今回は、ローポインターズ大会（Low Point Tournament）が実施されます。今大会では総勢8名のローポインター選手が参加し、5か国のチームと戦います。
今回、出場するLow Point Tournamentは、持ち点0.5点、1.0点、1.5点の選手（Low Pointerと呼ぶ）のために開発されたものです。通常は守備的な役割を担う選手たちがボールを扱い、攻撃的な役割を担い、Low Pointerのチーム同士で対戦します。一つ一つのプレーをじっくりと見ることが出来る非常に魅力ある大会となります。また普段、ハイポインターの選手の影に隠れてしまうローポインターの選手が活躍する大会となり、日本代表として、Low Point Tournamentは初出場となりますので、強豪国の中で活躍する日本代表ひとりひとりのプレーにも注目です。
