In the case of a tie at the end of the regulation period, the three players finishing the game for each team will compete in a free throw “shootout” to decide a winner. Each team will have three free throws and the best score wins. Each team is allowed one time-out (1 minute). The clock will not stop for timeouts, only for injuries or situations under the supervisor’s discretion. Substitutions may only be made during a dead ball situation. Following defensive rebounds of the ball, a team must clear the ball past any point of the three point line before attacking the basket. There will be no throw-ins. All balls that go out-of-bounds will be taken to the top of the three point line and checked into play. This check procedure will be the same as the one taken after a made basket. When the ball has been turned over, the ball must be dribbled or passed out to the top of the key before the next offence can start. Players will have five total fouls allowed. If players are fouled in the act of shooting, the shooter will receive one free-throw and that shooter’s team will be given the ball at the top of the key. In the case of a foul on a three point shot, the shooter will be given 2 free-throws. From any other fouls, not shooting, the fouled player gets the ball from the top of the key. Violations: 3 seconds (lane), 5 seconds (closely guarded), carrying the ball, travelling, double dribble, kicked ball, over and back (considered out of bounds in 3v3), ball over backboard, goaltending, basket interference, and jump ball. Fouls: Blocking, holding, hand check, pushing, illegal use of hands, double foul, player-control foul (charge), and technical foul.
