Each team is allowed 2 timeouts per game. Timeouts are 30-seconds in length. e. Normal scoring for basketball games will be used. Each basket scored behind the three point arc is worth 3-points; each basket scored inside the three point arc is worth 2-points. f.

The player with the ball has 5-seconds to pass the ball to a teammate. The offensive player who receives the checked ball may NOT shoot or dribble the ball; they may only pass – this will be considered as if it was an out of bounds situation and the player must “inbound” the ball to initiate play. c. Any defensive players defending the “inbounding” attempt after the checked ball must give the offensive player 3feet of space to “inbound” the ball to a teammate. This should be considered about an arms-length (no less). d. Once the ball has been checked back to the offensive player, the ball is not considered “live” until it has touched another player. Defensive players CANNOT foul the offensive player who the ball was “checked” to. This will be considered as an automatic intentional foul. e. The “check arc” shall be the three point arc.

If the defensive team fails to “check back” when needed and attempts/converts a shot, the shot and any score will be disallowed; a turnover in possession will occur and be given back to other team at the top of the key. h. Only one foot is needed to touch past the three point arc (while in possession of the ball) for a “check back” to be legal. Only a portion of the foot (not the entire foot) must touch past the three point arc. i.

Intentional Fouls – 2 free-throws, and possession of the ball. Intentional fouls do not carry an ejection unless, in the opinion of the official or IM staff, the foul was flagrant. e.
