Curse Rule: It's back and it will be enforced just like always. 1st violation is a technical foul (2 shots), and a team foul. Second violation on the same person is a technical foul (2 shots), and a game ejection. If you get ejected from two games for cursing you will be suspended for the following game.
Jersey Rule: Every player must have a Hoop District jersey at the start of the game. If a player does NOT have a jersey the violating team is penalized two free throws per violation (to be shot by captain of opposing team)
Captain Rule: Each captain is required to play the first 6 minutes of each quarter. Playing time beyond that is up to each team captain. The only exception to this rule is if another team captain is unavailable for a game or becomes injured during a game. Foul trouble is a personal problem.
League News: We've assigned Robert Banez as our Deputy Commissioner. If you have issues with something happening in or around league play you can address it with either Rob or me. Some examples, noticeable cheating, playing time issues, captain related issues, trade-related issues, etc.
