In previous Games it has sometimes been hard for states/territories to pull together enough players for team events, Adult Supporter Competitors are eligible to compete with the following guidelines to be followed:
Not applicable.
Rules: These rules are based on FIBA (Federation Internationale de Basketball) rules for 3X3 competition: https://fiba3x3.com/en/rules.html, except as modified herein.
Format: Teams will consist of a maximum of six players. Three players are required to start the game. A team may continue with two players, if no other eligible players are available. Juniors 15-17 are permitted.
Games will be played half court. All games will be officiated by one or two officials. First possession will be determined by a coin flip before the game between two team representatives. The visitor shall make the call and have the choice.
Games will consist of one 15-minute period or to 21 points. The clock will be on running time except for the final two minutes. In the final two minutes, the clock will stop when play is disrupted by the official’s whistle.
The ball must be taken behind the 3-point line after each change of possession. (The ball must be in possession of a player whose feet are behind the 3-point arc.) After each made basket, the ball must be checked at the top of the key and thrown to another player to start play. The team that was on defence will be awarded the ball (not “make it, take it”.)
Three points are scored for a successful shot from beyond the 3-point arc, two points for all other goals from the floor. One point is scored for a successful free throw.
After five team fouls, any foul will be awarded two free throws. The ball will be alive if the second free throw is missed. If both free throws are made, the ball is awarded to the defense as if a team scored during regular play. A player, after committing five fouls, will be disqualified from the game.
Each team may call one timeout per game. Timeouts are one-minute in duration and the clock will be stopped. The timer will sound the warning horn at the 45-second mark and play will resume at the one-minute mark.
If the game is tied at the end of regulation play, a two-minute overtime period will be played after a one-minute intermission. A coin flip will determine first possession. This procedure will be repeated until a winner is determined.
Non-marking shoes.
