3-ON-3 RULES
•Teams must have a minimum of 4 players and can have a maximum of 6.
Subs can be made on dead balls, made baskets or by calling a time out.
Each team will play 2-3 games in pool play and 2 games in bracket play.
•1st possession will be determined by a “Do or Don’t” shot.
Gametime will be 20 minutes.
•Winner will be the first team to score 36 points, or the team leading after 20 minutes.
A 2-minute “halftime” occurs once the first team gets to 18-points.
•Common field goals (lay-ups & mid-range) are worth 2 points. Field goals beyond the 3-point arc are worth 3 points.
•Team will alternate possessions after a made basket. Once a team scores, defense receives the next possession.
•On change of possession after a missed field goal or a steal, the ball must be “cleared” beyond the 3-point arc (airballs included).
The ball is cleared when the player with the ball establishes both feet behind the 3-pt line. The ball can be cleared by dribbling or passing.
•All dead-ball possessions must start with a “check ball”.
Scorekeepers will only track team fouls, not personal fouls.
Teams will be in the free-throw double bonus after the 4th team foul (1 point per free throw).
Overtime will be resolved in a free-throw shoot-off with each player on the team until the tie is broken.
If a team is a “no show” for their game, they will forfeit that game, resulting in a loss.
Pool Play Tiebreaker: determined by head-to-head matchups first. 2nd Tiebreaker determined by min/max score differential (+/- 20). 3rd Tiebreaker determined by overall score differential. 4th Tiebreaker determined by fewest defensive points allowed.
Following Pool Play, Team will be seeded and brackets will be set for Bracket Play.
Each player will need to have a waiver on file to be eligible for the tournament. Waivers will be emailed after registration is received.
