Rules

FIBA Rules will be used with the following modifications:

    1. Duration: Two 24 minutes halves; with a 3 minute half-time
    2. Running Time: Each half will be straight running time; the clock will be stopped for free throws and time-outs.
    3. No Shot Clock: There is no shot clock in effect anytime during the game.
    4. Time-outs: Each team is permitted 2 time-outs. Only 1 time-out per half. Time-outs can not be carried over. Only the team in control of the ball can ask for a time-out during a live ball.
    5. Overtime: There are no overtime periods in regular season play.  During playoffs only, if an overtime period is necessary, it will be 2 minutes in length.
    6. Substitutions can be made after any whistle and by the team who has been scored upon.  NOTE: if the team that has been scored upon requests a substitution, the opposing team may be granted substitutions as well.
    7. Fouls: A player fouls out on the 6th foul.
    8. Team foul: A team foul penalty will take effect on the 7th team foul in each half; the penalty will be 1 free throw (i.e., not one and a bonus; not 2 free throws).
    9. Free Throws: All made free throws have a value of 2 points.

Player is fouled on a 2 point try for basket:
i. The try for basket is not successful = 0 points AND awarded 1 free throw (2 pts possible)
ii. The try for basket is successful = 2 points AND awarded 1 free throw (4 pts possible)

Player is fouled on a 3 point try for basket:
i. The try for basket is not successful = 0 points AND awarded 2 free throws (4 pts possible)
ii. The try for basket is successful = 3 points AND awarded 1 free throw (5 pts possible)

Win = 2 points;                 Loss = 0 points;                 Tie/Draw = 1

Games are cancelled when the UGDSB (school board) closes schools due to inclement weather (i.e. snow day with schools entirely closed)
