The Rules:

Three on Three Basketball is a half court game played between two teams of 3 players each, including a maximum of 3 substitutes. Games may be started and completed with only 2 players, but not with just 1 player.

NO DUNKING IS ALLOWED DURING PRACTICE /WARMUPS! Dunking is permitted only during official games. Anyone caught dunking during non-game situations (which includes during dead ball situations) will be disqualified from further participation, and the team will receive a technical foul.

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

To begin the game, a member from each team will play rock, paper, scissors to determine the right to possession or pass possession to the opposing team. Ball possession changes hands after each basket unless a foul is awarded. Deliberate stalling or attempts to freeze the ball shall result in loss of ball possession. The referee may issue a verbal warning before taking away possession.

Playing time shall be from 10:50am until 11:10am. Time outs will only be taken for injured players. A tie score at the end of regulation time shall, result in a sudden death free throw shooting contest.

The imaginary Acheck line@ shall be the top of the key or the three (3) point arc, whichever is available. To start each game, following each score, or after a foul is awarded, a player must pass the ball in play from the check line. On defensive rebounds or steals, the ball must be returned to the check line, and the player in possession of the ball may maintain control and attempt to score. Any change of possession will result in the ball returning to the check line.

Fouling:

All non shooting fouls will result in possession given to the player fouled at the Acheck line@.
