Rules

FIBA Rules Apply with the following adaptations and details 

• The following FIBA violations apply: dribbling, travelling, goaltending, offensive 3 in the key 
• Following each change of possession (e.g., a turnover) the ball must be cleared beyond the three-point arc before trying to score 
  • The ball is considered cleared when both feet are behind the three point arc 
  • If the ball changes possession and the ball is not cleared, and the player shoots and scores, no basket is awarded, and the possession goes to the opposing team at the top of the three point arc 
• After checking the ball with their opponent the player putting the ball in play must do so by passing the ball to a teammate (they have no dribble, must pass) 
• Fouls are called by the offense 
• Fouls in the act of shooting will result in 1 free throw for 1 point or 2 free throws for 2 points if the shot attempt was behind the 3-point arc 
• If the offensive player makes the basket while being fouled, he/she will shoot 1 free throw 
• Common fouls that aren’t in the act of shooting will result in the team who was fouled to begin with possession of the ball at the top of the three point arc 
• If a team commits 6 fouls within a half, every additional foul is a free throw 
• Time does not stop for fouls, only if there is an injury
