3 teams = 3 Referees
If your club enters 8 or more teams you are required to supply 1 referee per 2 teams after
reaching the required of 8 referees.
Example: 8 teams = 8 Referees,

There are two main types of Basketball Associations: Clubs or Designated. The club associations
are ones which have multiple clubs and each player is from a particular club and represents their
club from year to year. Each club usually has a committee who runs the club; this style is more
found in large associations (Example – Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Mildura, Warragul etc).
The Designated Association is when the Association collects all names at the start of the season
and designates names of players into teams, usually on ability to create an equal competition.
This system is usually found in small to medium associations. A team which competes together
each week in this style of domestic competition is able to compete in Club Championship as long
as they compete in the same team domestically week to week. A couple of players from a
number of different teams that play domestically (representative teams) are unable to compete
together in the Club Championships.

Basketball Victoria Country Junior Club Championships started some thirty four years ago for Victorian
Country “Club” Teams. Over the years it was known as the “Miller Shirt” Junior Clubs, “Avco” Junior Clubs,
“Shell” Junior Clubs and was the only competition of its type in Australian Basketball.
A number of years ago the concept was altered and “Representative” teams from Associations were
permitted to join with the “Clubs” and as a result the concept of the event became more than a little
confused. To rectify this, the BV Country Council on 4 th December 2004, agreed to return to the original
format: A Junior Club Championship, for genuine “Club” teams.
Timing Rules: Two twenty (20) minute halves – 2 Time outs per half per team.
First half: Clock DOES NOT stop (NO TIME-OUTS PERMITTED in last one (1) minute of the half)
Half time: Two (2) minute break.
Second half: Clock will STOP for all whistles including time-outs in the last one (1) minute only.
Extra time: Three (3) minute duration will be played until a result has been achieved.
Clock stops on every whistle in last two (1) minute of extra time, One Time Out per team per Extra Period
Sin Bin Rule is enforced – 5 minutes of playing time on the bench (time outs not included)
Under 12 and Under 14 – The ‘No Zone’ rule will be enforced (See No Zone Rule).
