sock color info
[edit]is there a page that contains an explanation of the colored sock classification method? it's not on the regular physical disability rugby league page (probably because at least from what i've seen, it's used in international games but not typically within regular games)
it feels really relevant to the wales issue, but i don't know where would be the best place to elaborate on how that works, if it hasn't been explained already. Hillsyism (talk) 15:55, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- I think it would probably be best to add a section on international/world cup rules to the physical disability rugby league page, though sources for this are hard to find. I have added a couple of links to the talk page of that article, but unfortunately, I can find anything that goes into specific details about socks and classifications.

- yeah, i'm gonna take a look later to see if there's a rule book somewhere online that talks about it. i don't really know the specific parameters that they use to determine classifications, but during the final streaming on ourleague (don't quite know how you'd cite that considering it's no longer on the site that i can find, i'm also massively unfamiliar w how bbc sport works but perhaps it can be found there), the commentators explained a bit about how there's a, b, and c levels, which sock color is which, and how many players of each color you can have on at a time. it's something, i guess.

- I watched it again on iPlayer and found the parts of the commentary which discussed these rules. I have added a section based on this to the PDRL article using {{cite episode}} to source it. EdwardUK (talk) 15:22, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

There is a very long document on the IRL website going through the full classification protocol, effectively purple socks are A, pink are B and light blue are C. You must have a minimum of 3 Cs on the pitch and a minimum of 8 Bs & Cs combined https://www.intrl.sport/media/ks1drqsd/irl-classification-manual-2022.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickleigh91 (talk • contribs) 10:17, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
