Game Rules

Intro to the Game

The Official Rules of the Game

All games will be 10-minutes or first to 21 points. If no one reaches 21 points after 10mins the team with the higher score wins.

Baskets are worth 1pt for anything inside the arc and 2pts for anything outside of the arc. Every made free throw will be worth 1pt.

A coin flip shall determine which team gets the first possession. The team that wins the coin flip can either choose to benefit from the ball possession at the beginning of the game or at the beginning of a potential overtime.

When a team is scored on, they must take the ball from the basket, inside the charge circle (or designated box under the basket) and clear the ball outside the arc for their possession to begin. The defensive player is not allowed to play for the ball in the “no-charge semi-circle area” underneath the basket.

Following each unsuccessful field goal or last free throw, if the offensive player rebounds the ball, they may continue to attempt to score without returning the ball behind the arc. If the defensive player rebounds the ball, they must return the ball behind the arc (by passing or dribbling).

Games will be 10 minutes of run time, with the last 30 seconds of play stop time if the score is within 2 points.

First Place and Third Place games will be played with stop time for the full 10 minutes.

Tournament tie breaking rules will follow Ontario Basketball Championship Tournament Tie-Break Format, which can be found here.

There is no coaching. For U10, U12 and U14 divisions teams will be required to have a parent chaperone to assist with substitutions and schedule management.

Substitutions may occur on a dead ball but not following a basket.

U10 & U12 Modifications

The first team to score in overtime wins the game.

No shot clock is used. If a team is not sufficiently trying to attack the basket, the officials shall give them a warning by counting the last 5 seconds.

No time-outs are granted.
