Game Play
Games will be 15 minutes each.
In the event of a tie, a coin toss will determine which team gets first possession of the ball. Play will commence and the first team to score any point wins. All fouls during tie breaker result in free throws – one (1) shot for a foul inside the three-point arc and two (2) shots for a foul outside the three-point arc.
The ball will change possession after each scored basket – no “make it, take it.”
No stalling is allowed. Court monitor will determine stalling offenses and ball will change possession.
All jump balls go to the team on defense.
Out of bounds results in stop of play and change of possession. Court monitor will help settle any dispute on who last touched the ball.
Each team may call two (2) 30-second time outs. Clock continues to run. No time outs may be called in the last two (2) minutes.
Ball must be taken behind the three-point arc for each change of possession. If play has stopped, ball must be thrown in from check box in center court circle.
Three seconds in the key offenses will be determined by court monitor and ball will change possession.
Baskets made inside the arc count one (1) point. Baskets made behind the arc count two (2) points.
The ball is out of bounds if it passes over the top of the backboard or touches any part of the mounting structure behind the backboard.
Fouls are called by the person being fouled.
If a player is fouled in the act of shooting and makes the shot, the point counts and the ball changes possession. If the shot is missed, the player who was fouled shoots one (1) free throw – two (2) if the shot was behind the arc. There is no rebound from the free throw. Whether made or missed, the ball changes possession and is thrown in from the check box.
In the last two (2) minutes of game time, all fouls result in two (2) free throws.
