Rules of Play
1) The Tournament

• The tournament is double elimination. That means that a team must lose twice before they are eliminated.

2) The Game

• Each team must have between 3 and 5 players on their roster. Only players on the roster are permitted to play.
• Substitution is unlimited, but permitted only when the ball is not in play.
• To begin the game, a 3-point shot will determine the right to possession.
• The ball will change possession after all made baskets, no “make it, take it.”
• The ball will be “cleared” on EVERY change of possession. Failure to clear it will result in the loss of possession and the loss of any points resulting from that possession. (‘Cleared• means BOTH feet and ball behind the 3 point line.) A violation occurs only when a shot is attempted prior to taking the ball behind the 20-foot arc. If a shot is attempted prior to taking the ball back and you are fouled, the foul does not count and the ball changes possession.
• The ball must be checked by an opposing player before it is put into play. The ball must be passed to a teammate to begin play.
• ALL GAMES will be to 15 points, win by two points (straight to 20), scoring is by 1’s and 2’s.
• Each team is allowed one 45-second time-out

3) Fouls

• Players call their own fouls, which results in possession of the ball.

4) The Court

• The sides, and bottom of the backboardare inbounds. The top is out of bounds.
• Boundaries are the sidelines, endline, and half court line.
