General Rules
General FIBA Basketball rules apply with the following modifications/exceptions:
● Games will begin with a jump ball
● Players may substitute on dead balls, timeouts, or end-of-the-quarter
● When the ball is 'tied up', and a jump ball call is made, the team who started the game without the ball will be awarded possession of the ball (regardless of who was on offence or defence). For any subsequent "jump balls", possession will alternate between teams (the next jump ball will go to the team who started with the ball) and continue to switch.
● All standard basketball infractions are enforced (e.g. reaching-in, body contact of any kind, charging, landing zone (shooting two), intentional fouls (a play on the ball must be made, or two shots and possession will be awarded, technicals are awarded 1 free-throw etc.). Remember that games are timed, so it is not worth wasting time arguing over calls.
● The foul shooter has a maximum of 10 seconds to take the shot - do not delay the game by taking an unnecessary amount of time.
● Intentional fouls are not permitted regardless of the score - (a play on the ball must be made, or two shots and possession will be awarded).
● The “No charge zone” will be used any time the court provides it.
● Games can be tied during the regular season.
● There must be a winner in a playoff match. In the event that the match ends in a tie, teams will partake in a two-minute overtime period.
Rough Play & Misconduct
Any rough play or misconduct toward staff and officials will result in an immediate 1-game suspension from the league play and may result in a lifetime league expulsion. It is recognized that incidental contact between players is inevitable; however, all players should go out of their way to avoid creating an unsafe play. This rule supersedes all others. Arguing with the referee will result in a technical and possible ejection.
● 2 personal technicals = player ejection
● 3 personal technicals = team/game disqualification
