Rules

3 on 3 Hoops is a half-court game played by two teams of three players each, including a maximum of three subs. This is a "call your own" game. Teams must have two players to start a game and can only have a total of six players on the roster. NFHS basketball rules apply with the exception of the following IM rules.

Supervisor Duties

Prior to the game the Supervisor will perform a coin toss to determine ball possession. The Supervisor will signal the ball in play to begin both and will have the power to make decisions on any point not specifically covered in these rules.

If the two teams are unwilling to abide by a call, the Supervisor may assist with the call, call a re-play or end the game. Continuous problems will result in the game being declared over.

The Supervisor will penalize any player, substitute, or coach for unsportsmanlike conduct by immediate ejection and banishment from the area.

Scoring and Timing

The "match" will consists of a best-of-three series. The first team to win two games wins the match. The first two games will be played to 15. The third game, if needed, will be played to 11. Teams do NOT have to win by two in order to win the game.

If a match is not complete after 30 minutes of play the current game being played will play until one team scores four spoints more than the winning team has at that point in time. If both teams are tied with one game won each and time has expired, the third game will be played to four points.

Points are awarded as follows (see below for CoRec scoring):

1 point for free throw

2 points for made basket

3 points for a made basket from outside three point arc

Playing the Game

The winner of the coin toss will have the first possession. Alternating possession arrow procedures will be used through out the remainder of the game (no make it-take it).

Checking the Ball

The "check line" will be outside the 3-point line.

The ball must be passed to a teammate after a "check".

The ball must be "checked" to start a new possession after a foul, violation, or made basket.

On a "check", the defensive team will have three seconds to be declared ready and hand the ball back to the offensive team for play. Any longer than three seconds will result in the offensive team receiving two points plus the possession.

After a steal, violation or defensive rebound, the new offense must pass the ball outside of the check line.

Penalty for violation of "check" line procedures is loss of ball.

Time Outs

Teams cannot call time outs during a game.

Time outs will be called only by the Supervisor for injuries or special circumstances.

Substitutions

Substitutions may be made after a basket, foul shot, or any other stoppage of play.

Fouls

All common, personal, and technical fouls will be counted against the team total. On and after the 4th team foul, a bonus shall be awarded for the remainder of the game.

Prior to the forth team foul:

any common foul shall result in loss of possession for the offending team

any offensive foul shall result in disallowing a converted basket and loss of possession

any shooting foul with a missed basket shall result in retained possession

any shooting foul with a converted basket shall result in the basket being awarded and change of possession

On the forth team foul and thereafter:

any common foul shall result in a single foul shot along with retained possession for the offended team (teams do not line up on the free throw lane)

any offensive foul shall result in disallowing a converted basket and a single shot along with retained possession for the offended team

any shooting foul with a missed basket shall result in two foul shots along with retained possession

any shooting foul with a converted basket shall result in the basket being awarded with retained possession

Stalling

If a team is deliberately stalling or freezing the ball, the opposing team may start an audible ten second count to shoot. If they do not shoot, the ball will be turned over to the other team.
