Game Structure and Policies:

·        Games are 4 on 4, half-court

·        Games will be to 32 points – no time limit

·        Baskets count for 2 point and 3-point baskets count for 3 points

·        After a 5th team foul, all non-shooting fouls will result in a 1 and 1 from the free throw line.  All shooting fouls will result in 2 free throws (3 for a 3-point shooting foul).

·        Designated referees will oversee each game with full authority on all calls

·        Each player is allowed 3 fouls per game.  Players exceeding the foul limit will be disqualified for the duration of the game

·        Players receiving a technical foul will be disqualified for the duration of the game.  A 2nd technical foul will result in disqualification from the tournament.

·        Substitutions may be made during any dead ball situation when allowed by the official.

·        No black-soled shoes allowed on court.  Athletic shoes with white soles only

·        Poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated. We are Knights!

 

Game Rules:

·        First ball will go to team winning a coin toss conducted by referee

·        During an inbound, team A with the ball must pass ball to teammate before scoring

·        If Team A scores, Team B must take ball out from behind the base-line.  After the inbounds all three points (2 feet and the ball) must go behind the 3-point line and then Team B will be allowed to attempt a shot.  Team A may defend any position and attempt to prevent Team B from taking ball behind the 3-point line (Pressing).

·        If a player on Team A is fouled then Team A will take possession of ball at top of the key, unless it is a shooting foul or Team B has more than 5 team fouls.  The player committing the foul will have a foul counted against him.

 


Game Rules continued:

 

 

·        If Team A shoots the ball and does not hit the rim or backboard, Team B must still take the ball behind the 3-point line.  No cherry picking.

·        Any ball that goes out of bounds will be checked up at the top of the key.  The player for Team A has to pass to a teammate before the ball is in play.  Team B may defend once the ball is checked.

·        First team to score 30 points wins the game

·        Number of games played by each team will depend on the total number of teams playing in the tournament.

·        Two teams with most wins will move on to the final game.  The final game will be a half court game with same rules as all other games.
