Rules and Regulations

• All games will be 7 minutes long.
• Two Points will be scored for each basket shot from within the 3-point arc; shots from behind the 3-point arc counting as three points.
• If the game is tied at the end of the 7 min. period, the next team to score wins.
• Teams will shoot from the free-throw line to determine who starts with possession of the ball. The first made free throw wins the ball unless the opposing team can immediately respond with a made basket. 
• During gameplay, after each make, the possession of the ball will change hands. (Losers’ outs)
• After each change of possession, the ball must be taken back behind the 3-point arc before a shot can be attempted. If a team scores a basket without taking the ball back, the basket will be disallowed but the offending team will retain possession.
• After a basket, out-of-bounds, violation, or foul, the offense must “check” the ball with their opponent before play resumes, and the ball must be passed to start play. There are no free throws.
• Referees will call fouls and violations as necessary to keep the game under control.
• All held balls are awarded to the defense first, and then they alternate.
• Substitutions may be made at any time that play is stopped.
• Teams are awarded one 30-second time-out per game.
• The Referees are the only administrators for the games. They will not call fouls or violations unless necessary. If a Referee calls an excessive contact intentional foul or a technical foul, the penalty will be one free throw for the offended team, and the ball awarded for a throw-in.
• The Referees may remove a player from a contest without warning if the player is behaving inappropriately.
• Ties at the end of regulation will be settled by the next made basket. Overtime possession will be settled like the start of a game. 
• All decisions by the Referees are final.
• Game time is forfeit time.
• After a game, the winning team must report results to the Tournament Director and check the schedule for the time of their next game.
