In order to make this a great event there’s a few things you should know!

1. All players must be wearing non-marking sports shoes.

2. Respect! We’ll all have a great time if you treat other players, referees and the gym space the way you want to be treated.

3. Games start on-time, if you are late to the start of your game the other team will be given a chance to start scoring!

Every 3v3 tournament has slightly different game rules, here’s ours:

1. rock paper scissors to determine starting team.
2.  shots are worth 1 point, or 2 points behind the 3pt line.
3.  play to the official horn/buzzer.

4. if overtime is required it’s Golden Goal

5. If no score after 1 minute of overtime then a Golden Goal shootout from free throw line. (team that was defending at end of overtime gets first shot)
6. After a basket, the defensive team inbounds or dribbles from baseline
7.  Defensive team must get ball to 3point line before trying to score – even if the ball has not touched the rim.

8. After regular foul is simply a checked ball.

9. Shooting foul = 1 shot

10. Intentional foul = warning & checked ball, 2nd offense = 1 shot & ball

11. Technical/flagrant foul = 1 shot & ball

12. Time wasting = referee starts 5 second shot clock countdown

13.  we are running approx 10 minute games (2 minute changeover time)

14. If a team is not on court for the start time – they get 30secs to arrive.  After 30 seconds the team that is on court gets the ball and can score.  This continues every 20 seconds.  Game over If score reaches 8-0 without 2nd team getting 3 players on the court.

15.  This is a mixed tournament, no gender specific rules apply.  

16.  Teams in the year 7-9 grade may not have any older players in their team.  Senior grade teams can include younger players if they wish (but not players who have left school)
