RULES
• Players must have a basic knowledge of the sport and be available at specific times. If you can not make it to your game, let me know ASAP and I will consider changing the game to a new date or time. Failure to show up to your game will get you removed from the tournament, and possibly even blacklisted from future tournaments depending on the situation.
• Each game consists of 4 quarters. Each quarter is 5 minutes in length. There will be a 5 minute intermission after the 2nd quarter, also known as halftime. If the game game is tied at the end of regulation, the teams will enter into a 5 minute overtime period. If they are still tied at the end of that overtime period, they will enter another overtime period and continue on until one team wins. A game will never end in a tie.
• Sometimes teams need a moment to regroup or come up with a new game plan. This is where timeouts come into play. Each team will get 3 timeouts. Each timeout will be exactly 1 minute long, and game play will resume at the end of that timeout. Unlike real life basketball, you can call a timeout at any point in the game rather than only being able to call timeouts when your team is on offense.
• Game scoring will be based off real life basketball scoring. Scoring a basket within the arcing white line counts as a 2-pointer. Scoring a basket outside the arcing white line counts as a 3-pointer. Free throws are 1 point for each made free throw.
• After a someone scores, or the ball goes out of bounds, the team with the ball must pass the ball in to their teammate.
• Fouls/Penalties will play a large part in keeping the games organized. Every foul or penalty committed will result in 2 free throws for the opposing team, usually resulting in an easy 2 points. Sometimes players may commit a technical foul. A technical foul is a serious offence in a game and with it comes consequences. A technical foul will result in the opposing team shooting 2 free throws alone. That team also gets the ball after shooting those free throws. If a player commits 2 technical fouls, they will be automatically removed from the game, forcing their teammate to play alone. Read the list of fouls/penalties in the below section.
• Players are allowed to confront an official while the clock is stopped and ask for clarification of a certain call, such as a foul, ruling, or basket. Players are not allowed to argue or complain about a call.
Fouls:
Normal Fouls: (Will result in the opposing team shooting 2 free throws.)
• Stealing the ball before the half court line. This includes passes. You are allowed to steal the ball before half court within 5 seconds left in the period.
• Shooting the ball before the half court line. You are allowed to shoot the ball before half court within 5 seconds left in the period.
Technical fouls: (Will result in the opposing team shooting 2 free throws and getting the ball back. 2 technical fouls results in an automatic removal from the game.)
• Arguing with the official about a foul, ruling, or basket.
• Talking in all caps because your are angry.
• Raging in the middle of the game.
• Protesting by causing a delay in the game.
• Spiking the ball against the floor making it bounce really high.
• Throwing the ball across the court for no reason whatsoever.
Special Fouls/Penalties:
• Goaltending, or obstructing a shot before it goes in will result in an automatic made shot for the opposing team.
• A delay of game penalty can be called by a ref if he/she feels you are delaying it purposely. This will result in the opposing team being given possession of the ball.
