SCORE CHALLENGE: 

If your team suspects the score is wrong, you can call a timeout to challenge the score. If you are right about the score being wrong, you do not lose a time out. If you are wrong about the score error, you will lose 1 timeout. If you unsuccessfully challenge the score and do not have time outs, the opposing team will get 2 free throw and the ball. YOU CAN NOT REWATCH THE GAME AFTER IT HAS BEEN PLAYED AND REQUEST FOR THE GAME TO BE REPLAYED FOR THE ERROR TO BE FIXED. Once the game is over, the game is over. 

 

 

REFERRE CALL CHALLENGE: 

If your team believes a call made by the referree(s) is wrong, you can call a timeout and challenge the call. The referee(s) will then review the call and decide whether the challenge is successful/unsuccessful. If the challenge is successful, you do not lose a time out and will get awarded another challenge. If the challenge is unsuccessful, you will lose a timeout and lose your right to a 2nd challenge. If you unsuccessfully challenge a call without having any time outs, the opposing team will shoot 2 free throw and receive the ball. THERE IS ONLY 2 CHALLENGES PERMITTED PER GAME. The 2nd challenge is only awarded if the 1st challenge is successful. Use your challenge(s) wisely.

 

-IF NEEDED, the referee has the power to stop the game and review his call. If the referee decides to go back to get another look at the play, the referree can reverse the call.

LEAGUE RULES

 

Games start on time! Clock will start running 5 minutes after officials are ready to start game. A two shot technical will be given for each player that is missing to complete the full 4 needed to play. 

 

If a team only has 2-3 players when the game is scheduled to start, they must play with the amount of players they have until 4 players get to the game. 

 

-Each player must attend AT LEAST ONE GAME in order to be eligible for playoffs. Each player MUST BE ON THE ROSTER in order to play. If a player that is not on your roster plays a game, that game will count as a forfeit and the opposing team gets the 15-0 win. 

 

 

-Every player must be wearing the same color jersey!

If a member of your team forgets their jersey, they must purchase a Courtside jersey for $10 to play.  

We encourage team captains to bring Courtside jerseys to games just in case a team member forgets their custom jersey.

If a team member forgets their custom jersey, they must wear the courtside jersey they were given.

EVERY PLAYER ON EACH TEAM NEEDS TO WEAR THE SAME JERSEY FOR THEIR GAME!

 

• 1 technical = 2 shots for opposing team and possession of the ball.
• 2 technicals = ejection from game.

If a player or fan is acting disrespectfully, the referee and/or staff will ask that individual to leave the building. The game WILL NOT RESUME until that individual exits the building. 

 

Fights or Physical altercations = suspension(s) from the league without refund.

Excessive use of profanity towards staff, refs, players, and/or threatening to start a physical altercation (fight), will result in being asked to leave and suspeneded from the league without refund. 

The first player to get off their bench and onto the court during an altercation, is automatically suspended for one game.

Suspensions are reviewed and given by the committee. Decisions are subject to change.
