RULES

 

  • Players can play on more than one team provided the teams involved are in different divisions & sessions and they meet the requirements for that division.  (Exceptions may be made in certain situations (ex: injury, etc.)

 

  • Scoring:

 

- 3rd – 6th grade games will be played to 15 points win by 2 with a 17 point cap or 20 minutes running time or at the end of any overtime, with a maximum of 3 overtimes.  If the game is tied at the end of 3 overtimes, 1 player from each team will be selected to shoot a free-throw to determine the winning team. (i.e.:  Player 1 of Team A vs. Player 1 of Team B will shoot one free-throw.  If no determining shot, Player 2 of Team A vs Player 2 of Team B will continue with one free-throw, etc. until winner is established.)  The clock will stop the last 2 minutes of the game on dead balls if the game is within 5 points.

​

- 7th grade through adult games will be played to 21 points win by 2 with a 23 point cap or 20 minutes running time.  The clock will stop the last 2 minutes of the game on dead balls if the game is within 5 points.

​

- Overtime: If the game ends in a tie after regulation time there will be 1 minute overtime until one team wins (cap rule is in effect. Example: Regulation time runs out and score is tied at 22, this would mean next basket wins).  All end of regulation time rules apply for overtime.  No game ends by sudden death.

​

  • Scoring:

​​

- 1 point for a basket inside the 3 point line

- 2 points for a basket behind the 3 point line

​

  • (1) One minute time out (Time will stop) per game.

 

  • Possession to start the game or any over time will be a coin toss.

  • The ball must be “taken back” behind the 3 point line on each and every change of possession.  A violation will occur only if a basket is made by the team failing to properly “take it back” and will result in loss of that point scored and possession will go to the other team.  “Taking it Back” means both feet and the ball must go behind the 3 point line.
