GENERAL RULES
Scoring
- A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above the rim and passes through. No goal is scored if an untouched throw-in goes through the basket.
- All baskets attempted in front of the “3- point” line are worth 1 point, shot attempted behind the 3- point line are worth 2 points.
Timing Regulations
Playing Time
- All games will be played to 21, win by 2, with a cap to 25, or whichever team is winning at the end of the 20 minute period.
*Your team can not win the game with a made Free Throw unless your team is at the cap (25 points).
Time-Outs
- There are no time-outs, unless an injury occurs.
Substitutes
- Substitutes may enter the game at any time that play is stopped (any dead ball situation).
Start of Play
- All players must check in with IM Staff and show their student ID
- A coin toss/R.P.S. shall be used to determine which team starts the first game with possession of the ball.
- After any dead ball situation, the ball must be "checked" by the defense from the top of the 3-point line. If a ball is not "checked" by the offense to start play, the ball is turned over to the defense.
- After the ball is "checked", the ball must be passed in to start play. Failure to pass the ball to start play results in possession for the other team.
- After a change of possession, the ball must be taken back behind the top of the 3-point line before a shot may be attempted. If a team fails to clear the ball past the top of the 3-point line extended and then attempts a shot, the ball will be given to the defense.
- Change of possession = ANYTIME the ball is turned over by the offense to the defense. (Includes steals, “airballs”, rebounds, etc)
