The Players RulesAn entire team is composed of five players, but it can start off with four players. A team is required to have at least 4 players on their court. Three players may be allowed in the event that a player is injured or has fouled out.
The opposing team will receive the win if they have 4 or more players registered. This is true unless both teams were informed of the forfeit well in advance.
Scorers are required to inform substitutes before they enter the game. Substitutes are only allowed to enter the match when they have been acknowledged by an official. Technical foul.
Each shirt must be a different color. Each number should be at least 6 inches in size.
All players are required to wear athletic shoes with rubber soles that do not mark.
It is forbidden to wear any jewelry (friendship bands, chains, earring or earrings). Technical Foul.
The supervisor, official, athletic trainer or anyone else who deems it dangerous may not wear any casts. All knee braces must be made of hard and unyielding material, with the edges of both sides overlapped.
The game will last two 20 minute halves. The clock stops when a timeout or an official timeout is called (e.g. The clock stops for time outs or official timeouts (e.g. The clock will not be stopped by violations. The clock is not stopped for violations.
Time outsEach team is allowed four, one-minute, timeouts per match, with no more than two per halves. The official should note the number and time of each timeout.
Only the team in possession of the ball may call a time out, or in a deadball situation.
The official may grant time outs that are in excess of what is allowed. This can be done during the regulation playtime or any overtime. Even if an official is unaware that a timeout was excessive, he must still give a technical foul.
Each overtime can only have one timeout. Overtime timeouts are not carried forward from the regulation game.
ViolationsBack Court : Teams have 10 seconds to cross half court line. If the ball crosses the half-court (both feet with the ball), then it is illegal to cross over back into the rear court. Penalty: Turnover.
Three seconds. While the ball is in the frontcourt of an offensive team, a player cannot remain inside or in touch with the free shot lane for longer than the three seconds allowed. Penalty: Turnover.
Five Seconds: A violation is called if a player in the frontcourt, who is within six feet of the guard, holds the ball longer than five second or dribbles it for longer than five second. Penalty: Turnover.
Kicking is not considered a rule violation unless it’s done intentionally. A foot or leg accidentally hitting the ball does not count as a penalty.
Throw in ViolationThe throwing player must remain at the designated throw-in area until the ball reaches the boundary plane, except when the basket has been made. Penalty: Turnover.
The thrower has five seconds to throw the ball on the court. Penalty: Turnover.
The thrower should not cross the sideline.
The thrower is not able to foul his opponent by reaching through the boundary plane. Intentional foul is a penalty.
The thrower may not touch the ball with his or her hand. Technical Foul.
The thrower’s opponent is not allowed to cross the endline or imaginary plane. It is a violation of the rules. This is a delay of game.
Per game, a player may commit up to 5 fouls. After the fifth foul, the player will be removed. A personal foul is a player’s foul which involves an illegal contact between the opponent and the ball.
Double fouls occur when two players commit personal fouls at the same time. Double fouls result in fouls being recorded. No free throws will be awarded and the play will resume from the point where the foul occurred. The team that had the ball when the fouls occurred will be the one to get it out of bounds.
An intentional foul can be a technical or personal foul. It may or mayn’t have been premeditated, but it is solely determined by the severity. The following are examples of intentional fouls:
Contact which re-uses the obvious competitive advantage of an opponent.
Contact is made with a player who has clearly left the field of play.
Contacts that are not legitimate attempts to play the player/ball in order to stop the timer or to prevent it from beginning.
The excessive contact of an opponent with the ball.
Flagrant fouls can be personal or technical fouls of a violent, savage or non-contact nature. They also include technical fouls that are not contact fouls but display unacceptable conduct. When a player commits a foul, they are ejected.
No points are awarded when a player-control (charging) is committed.
6.6 Technical fouls are fouls committed by non-players or non-contact fouls by players; intentional or flagrant fouls while the ball has stopped moving.
A technical foul committed against a coach or player can lead to immediate expulsion from the game. Two technical offences will result in the immediate removal of a player or coach from the field.
Dunking can only be done during a game. A technical fourlock is triggered if you touch the rim or dunk during warm-ups or a deadball situation.
2.2 If a team is making free throws when a timeout is called, then the clock starts when the ball touches the ground after the throw-in on a basket made or when it touches the ground inbounds on a basket missed. Technical fouls continue to count until a timeout is called.
Three minute intermission between halves.
A 2-minute overtime will be played if necessary, but only during playoffs. In all dead-ball situations, the clock will stop. The overtime period is repeated until the winner has been declared. Each overtime will have a 1-minute break. Mercy Rule: 35 points lead before or after halftime; 15 points advantage at the two-minute mark.
