About 3x3 Basketball- Basic Rules
Four members per team. Three active players on court at all times, with one rolling substitute.
Played using only one half of a traditional basketball court.
Scoring:
o Traditional three point shots from behind the arc will be awarded 2 points
o Every shot inside the arc is awarded 1 point.
o Every successful freethrow is awarded 1 point.
Match duration: 10 minutes (with stoppages for dead ball situations and freethrows)
The team which scores 21 points or more within the match duration, wins the game. If neither team is able to reach 21 points, then the team with the higher points after the conclusion of 10 minutes is declared the winner.
If the scores are tied, then an extra period of time is played. Here the first team to score 2 points in overtime wins the game.
Each offensive possession will be for 12 seconds only.
Following each successful field goal or made free throw, a player from the non-scoring team will resume the game by dribbling or passing the ball from inside the court directly underneath the basket (not from behind the end line) to a place on the court behind the arc.
If the defensive team steals or blocks the ball, it must return the ball behind the arc (by passing or dribbling).
