**ALL PLAYERS MUST BE REGISTERED TO BE ELIGIBLE TO PLAY IN THE GAME. **

Notes: There will be a ten minute grace period given to teams with at least one player present but less than the minimum number required to begin play. Two forfeits and your team will not be able to continue the tournament. Participation fee is non-refundable the day of tournament play, but can be used towards future 3 on 3 league play.
The game: will consist of two halves, the first half ends once the 10 minute clock expires, while the second half ends when the 10 minute clock expires and leading by at least 2 points, with a 2 minute rest between halves. Teams must have at least 4 players on the court to start and continue a game.
Games are played on a half court with each possession starting at the top of the key (no inbound needed). Standard two and three-point shots apply, but there are also “4 point zones” where if a player makes a shot from that zone they are awarded 4 points instead of the normal 3. Home team will be decided by a do-or-die 4 point shot before the game begins.
Timeouts: each team has one timeout per half and in overtime period. Only players in the game and on the team with possession of the ball may call timeouts, not coaches or substitutes on the sidelines. During a dead ball, any offensive or defensive player in the game may call a timeout.
The games: an overtime period of three minutes will be played. If the score remains tied at the end of the period, a second overtime will be played, and it will be sudden death. That is, the first point (field goal or free throws) will end the game. Timing procedure for the last thirty seconds of the overtime period will be the same as the end of the second half. Each OT will start with a jump ball.
Free Throws: A shooting foul will receive one shot for the number of points the attempt was worth (2, 3, 4 points, so if you are fouled behind the 3 point line, that free throw is worth 3 points.) AND-1 shots applies on every made basket after shooting fouls (an additional free throw taken if a player is fouled while taking a shot.)
Substitutions: may be anytime the ball is dead, they must go to the score table and wait for the officials to call them into the game, and they must get to officials attention before entering the game.
Held Ball/ Jump Ball: in all held ball situations teams will alternate taking the ball out of bounds at the spot nearest to where the situation occurs. The possession arrow will determine all held balls.
