Our rules are a little different…
Heres what’s up
5 on 5 (max roster of 8)
Randomly selected teams
You will remain with your team throughout the season.
Practices will be organized by each team coach.
ALL TEAM NAMES MUST BE APPROPRIATE
Only serious fouls are called
Free throws do not exist. The free throw line is there just for decoration.
We count scores by 1s and 2s
You cannot win a game by one, you must call deuce if both teams are at game point
No cherry picking. EVER.
First to 21
Casts (plaster, metal or other hard substances in their final form) or any other item judged to be dangerous by the supervisor, official or athletic trainer may not be worn during the game. Knee braces made of hard, unyielding substances covered on both sides with all edges overlapped and any other hard substances covered with at least 1/2 inch of slow recovery rubber or similar material will be allowed.
There will be two 12 minute halves of continuous running time. Clock stops for time outs or official time outs (e.g. for injuries or retrieving a ball). Clock is not stopped for violations. The clock will stop during the final 1 minute of the second half for all dead ball situations. The clock will continue to run following made baskets inside 1minute
two time outs per game per team. (1 minute each).
3 minute intermission between halves
If a team is trailing by 20 or more at halftime or any point thereafter the game, the mercy rule will come into effect.
Time-outs may only be called by the team with possession of the ball or during a dead ball situation. Only players that are in the game may call a time-out. Bench personnel and coaches may not call time-out. After a time-out the ball will be in-bounded closest to the spot where the ball was when the timeout was called.
Any two players and/or coaches and/or spectators ejected from a game will result in an automatic forfeiture of the game by the offending team.
RESPECT EACHOTHER
