Game Rules
§ Teams must be ready to play at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled game time.
§ Pregame warm-up will be 5 minutes and half time will be 3 minutes.
§ Games will consist of two 16 minute halves with a running clock. The clock will stop only during timeouts, injuries and the last 2 minutes of the second half. The clock will not stop if one team is leading by 15 or more points.
§ Fouls will be tracked but only shooting fouls will be shot in the first half. In the second half normal high school rules will apply after 7 (Bonus) and 10 team fouls (Double Bonus).
§ Each team is allowed 2 timeouts per half and 1 timeout in overtime. Timeouts are one minute in length.
§ Overtime will be two minutes in length. The clock will stop the last minute of overtime. Double overtime will be sudden death. The first team to score 2 points in double overtime wins. If neither team scores two points, a team ahead by one point at the end of sudden death is the winner. If sudden death ends in a tie, then each of the ten players on the floor will shoot one free throw. The team making the most free throws is the winner.
§ 4th and 5th grade cannot full court press EXCEPT a trailing team may full court press the last minute of the game. Otherwise, defense may pick up at half court.
§ 6th, 7th and 8th grades may full court press to a 15 point lead.
