GAME RULES
Rules
The tournament organization reserves the right to change or modify any rule in the interest of the proper running of the tournament. Should this occur, any changes and their justification will be communicated to all participating teams.
All games will be played under FIBA rules, with the exceptions outlined below.
Being on time
Teams must report to the venue manager 30 minutes before the start of the game.
Failure to appear at the scheduled start time will result in forfeiture of the game with a 2–0 score.
Playing Time
Each game will consist of four 8-minute quarters. A non-stop clock will be used for the first three quarters. In the final period, the clock will stop during the last 4 minutes.
In quarters played with a non-stop clock, time will only stop during time-outs and free throws.
Each team will have two time-outs per game (1 minute each), one in each half.
There will be a 3-minute warm-up period, and halftime will be a maximum of 2 minutes.
Possession:
A 24-second shot clock will be used, controlled by the referee.
The referee will give a verbal warning when 10 seconds remain.
The ball must be handed to the referee before the throw-in only if it is taken in the frontcourt.
All games must be completed within a 60-minute time slot.
In the event of a delayed game, the organization may decide to continue the game with a running clock if necessary.
Tied Games
In the event of a tied game, the five players on the court from each team will each attempt one free throw. The team that scores the highest number of baskets will be declared the winner.
If the game remains tied after each team has taken its free throws, the game will be decided by sudden death, with the same players taking free throws in the same order as in the initial round.
Personal Foul
Players will be disqualified after committing five personal fouls.
eams will be in the bonus in each quarter once they reach four team fouls.
