Important Roundball Rules To Consider


As many of you know our games have always had the tendency to come down to close and competitive last second battles to determine the winning team. For this reason here are a few important Roundball Rules to consider when the clock ticks down to these intense moments:


24 Second Shot Clock

A 24 second Shot Clock is in effect in the last 5 minutes of the game if the score is within a 10 point margin. If the defending team fouls the team with possession when the shot clock is anywhere below 14 seconds, then the shot clock will be reset back to 14 seconds. This is important to recognize when games are close and teams begin to draw more fouls. 


Time Outs

During the course of the Regular Season a team is only allowed to use Two time outs throughout the entire course of the game. You may use your time outs whenever you choose, however use them wisely.
During the course of the Playoffs a team becomes allowed to use Three time outs throughout the entire course of the game. Again ensure that they are used wisely. 



Foul Limits 

It is the team's responsibility to be aware of how many team fouls they have committed through communication with the scorers table. On the 6th team foul of each half, a team is in the penalty which results in free throws for the opposing team. Likewise on an individual players 6th personal foul, he is ejected from the game. 



Last Second Game Winners

If a last second shot takes place and in fact goes in the basket, The referee has the option to FIRST communicate with the time keeper at the scorers table to determine if In Fact the ball was out of the players hands before the buzzer sounded. He can then make the final decision based on his communication with the Time Keeper.
