Play:

_ Each team must have at least three, but no more than four players on their roster. Teams must be composed of only Females.

_ All players must individually sign the score sheet waiver before each game.

_ Substitution is unlimited, but permitted only when the ball is not in play.

_ To begin the game, a coin toss will determine the right to possession. The team winning the toss has the option to start the game with the ball or defer possession to the opposing team. If the game goes into overtime, the team not receiving possession to start the regulation game shall receive the ball to start overtime.

_ The ball will change possession after all made baskets, no “make it, take it.”

_ The ball will be “taken back” on EVERY change of possession. Failure to take it back will result in the loss of possession and the loss of any points resulting from that possession. (“Taking back” means BOTH feet and ball behind the 3point line.) A violation occurs only when a shot is attempted prior to taking the ball behind the 3 point line.

_ The ball must be checked by an opposing player before it is put into play. The ball must be passed to a teammate to begin play.

_ TWO-POINT SHOT: Similar to the 3-point shot, a shot taken with both feet behind the high school 3 point line will count as two points. Both of the shooter’s feet must be clearly and completely behind 3 point line for the basket to count as more than one point.

_ Top two teams with the best record will compete for the Championship game, In the event of a tie in records, Head to Head winner advances, followed by margin of victory over similar opponent, and third option will be a coin toss.

Fouls:

_ Any player(s) violating the event’s sportsmanship policy or acting inappropriate may be suspended for the game or the tournament. Players ejected will be suspended for the following year’s event.

_ In any game where a referee is scheduled to officiate or the event staff elects to place an official, the referee will make all calls. Otherwise, the players are responsible for making their own calls. All called fouls shall result in one free throw shot, except on successful field goals in which case the basket counts and no free throw shot is awarded. Each “made” free throw equals one-point. A change of possession will result regardless if the free throw is made or missed. The team captain is the sole representative for his/her team. The captain has the right to ask the monitor/referee/court supervisor to explain any rules. If there is a dispute which needs to be resolved, request a court supervisor to come to your court immediately to handle the situation. The court monitor’s, referee’s or court supervisor’s decision is final for the purpose of that game. Once play resumes or once the game is completed after a disagreement, the problem is considered a dead issue.

_ Players will foul out of the game on their third foul. Cannot return to the game even in overtime.

_ On the 5th team foul, the fouled team will shoot one free throw for the remainder of the game on every foul.

_ Jump or held balls will alternate possessions.

_ Flagrant, Intentional, or Continuous Misconduct Fouls can and will result in the dismissal of the offending player. If the referee rules that a foul was Flagrant, Intentional, or Continuous Misconduct, and the player fouled is in the process of shooting and makes the shot, the basket is scored and he/she shall retain possession.
