RULES  OF  THE  FIBA  3x3  GAME

1st team to 21 points or 12 minutes in length (whichever comes first).

Last minute clock stops on ALL whistles and ALL fouls will result in 2 free throws taken like a normal game!

“straight up scoring”   that means 3 pt shots are worth 3 points, 2 point shots are worth 2 points and fouled in the act of shooting is worth 1 point plus another possession (if it didn’t go in the basket )—if the shot was made and you were fouled you add 1 point to whatever amount the made basket was worth and it’s the other teams possession!

 

THERE ARE NO TIE GAMES—if score is tied at end of the game each team will choose a player to shoot a free throw until one team makes their free throw while the other team misses their free throw.  Players may only shoot ONE free throw, if both teams players both make/miss, then each team picks a DIFFERENT PLAYER to each shoot a free throw until the tie is broken!

 

Possession to start the game-COIN FLIP

 

One 30 second timeout per game per team

 

Teams can sub on REFEREE’S WHISTLES ONLY—run on/off court please!

 

ALL jumpballs are awarded to the team playing DEFENSE AT THAT TIME

 

AFTER ANY REFEREE’S WHISTLE  The ball is “CHECKED IN” at the top of the key  above the 3 point line IT’S A LIVE BALL (DRIBBLE, PASS OR SHOOT IT)   NO CHECKIN AFTER MADE BASKETS

 

AFTER A MISSED SHOT OR STEAL OF THE BALL (LIVE BALL)

             If the shooting team gets a rebound they can continue to shoot the ball.

             If the defensive team gets the rebound or steal the ball (ALL CHANGES OF POSSESSION)  they MUST take the ball back ANYWHERE behind the 3 point arc (the player behind the arc must not have any part of their body touching the court inside the arc before they can score) THEY CAN PASS, DRIBBLE OR SHOOT ONCE “TAKEN BACK”

 

PLEASE REMEMBER THE PURPOSE OF THIS EVENT IS TO COMPETE,

& HAVE FUN  PLAYING BASKETBALL LIKE NICK ALWAYS DID!
