Game Rules and Mechanics

• Games played up to 11 points (1s and 2s).

• Win condition: Must win by a margin of 2 points.

• Point values:

  • Regular 2-point shot = 1 point.

  • 3-point shot = 2 points.

• Foul rules:

  • If fouled and basket is made: +1 free throw (1 point).

  • If fouled on a shot: 2 free throws (from the 3-point line, from the top of the key).

    • Rebound rule: If the first free throw misses, offensive/defensive rebound is allowed.

    • Second shot: Attempted only if the first was made.

    • Defensive rebound: Must take the ball beyond the 3-point line (if the rim was touched).

Game Flow

• Check-ball rule: After scoring, the attacking team has 10 seconds to restart play.

  • Defender must pass the ball back to the attacking player to resume play.

• Dribble limit: 5 dribbles per possession (total for the team).

  • 6th dribble = turnover.

  • Offensive rebounds: Dribble count resets to 5.

• Unsportsmanlike fouls:

  • 2 unsportsmanlike fouls = suspension for the entire tournament.

Rebounds and Positioning

• Free throws: Rebounders must stay behind the 3-point line until the ball is released.

  • Early entry = warning; shooter repeats the shot if interrupted.
