INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL RULES

Current National Federation Basketball Rules shall apply with the following exceptions:

1. A team shall consist of (5) legal players. However, a team may start or finish a game with (4) players.
2. Playing Time: Two 15-minute halves with a 5-minute intermission between halves.
3. Timing: The clock does not stop except for the last two minutes of each half and appropriate time outs. If a team is losing by 20 points or more with two minutes remaining in the game, the clock will run continuously under two minutes in the second half.
4. Time Outs: Each team is permitted two one-minute time outs per half and one time out for each overtime period. Second half timeouts will carry over into the overtime period. Officials may call time out when necessary. After a time out is taken, the ball will be taken out nearest the spot of the ball when the timeout was called (not half court automatically).
5. Tie Games: In the case of a tie game, there shall be a five (5) minute overtime period. Second half time outs and team fouls will carry over into overtime. The clock will be stopped during the last two minutes of the overtime period. Overtime begins with a jump ball. If the game remains tied at the end of the first overtime, we will repeat the process until we have a winner.
6. Substitutions: All players must report to the scorer’s table as well as the referee before entering the game. Players can not enter the game until the referee has given the O.K. An automatic technical foul will be assessed to players who substitute without reporting to the scorers table and waiting for a deadball.
7. Jump Balls: A jump ball will be administrated at the beginning of the first period, and at the beginning of any overtime period. All tie-ups will go to the possession arrow.
8. Technical Fouls: All technical fouls will result in 2 foul shots and possession of the ball. Two technical fouls called on a player will result in an automatic ejection from the game. A team receiving three technical fouls in a contest will forfeit the game at the point of the third technical. Any team to receive 4 technical fouls during the course of the tournament will be disqualified from the tourney.
9. Intentional Fouls: All intentional fouls will result in 2 foul shots and possession of the ball. Two intentional fouls called on a player will result in an automatic ejection from the game. An intentional foul will be called anytime someone fouls deliberately not going for the ball.
10. Flagrant fouls: Any foul that is committed with the intent to hurt will be considered flagrant and is grounds for ejection.
11. Free Throws: Before any player enters the lane to rebound a free throw, the ball must hit the rim.  If a lane violation is committed by the defense, the free throw is taken again. If committed by the offense when the free throw is made, then the basket does not count.
12. Sportsmanship: Each team will be given a sportsmanship rating at the end of each game by the officials. All teams receiving less than a "B", can be eliminated from the tournament.
