Qualification

Qualification for the 2022 Paralympics was based on rankings in the 2019, 2020, and 2021 World Wheelchair Curling Championships.[2] The qualification points are allotted based on the nations' final rankings at the World Championships. The points are distributed as shown in the table below. The eleven countries with the most points were to qualify for the Beijing Games, while the twelfth slot was reserved for the host country, China. Because the Chinese team placed within the top eleven point-scorers, the twelfth slot was given to the twelfth-ranked team, Estonia.

Notes
  1. ^ After qualifying, athletes representing the RPC were denied entry into the 2022 Winter Paralympics due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3][4]
  2. ^ Scotland, England and Wales all compete separately (Northern Ireland competes as part of a team from the island of Ireland) at the World Wheelchair Curling Championship. Under an agreement between the curling federations of those three home nations, only qualification points earned by Scotland count toward the point total for Great Britain.
