Here's how scoring and format work for handball at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
The men's and women's competitions begin with the preliminary phases, in which teams compete against opposing teams in their group for five games.
The opposing team will attempt to block shots with their arms and legs, or forming a wall with teammates, to prevent a goal. Teams are not allowed to hold the ball without attacking, and a shot on goal must be taken after a maximum of four passes. Failure to do so leads to a penalty for passive play, which awards a free throw to the opposing team.
