Rules

LEAGUE FORMAT
All teams will compete during the regular season and top teams will advance to the playoffs.  The number of playoff teams will be determined by the total number of teams in the league. Tie breakers are determined by win/loss record, head to head, and point differential.
THE GAME
  • Normal rules and penalties of the UIL guidelines (NFHS) unless exceptions have been made below.
  • Each game will be played with two 20-minute halves running clock.
  • Each team is allowed one 1-minute time-out in the first half and two 1-minute time-outs in the second half. Unused timeouts from the first half do not carry over.
  • It is a running clock except for final 2 minutes of the 2nd half (unless a team is up by 15 points or more)
  • In the case of a tie at the end of regulation there will be a 2:00 minute overtime with each team being awarded one time-out for the overtime period. If the game is still tied after the overtime period we will go to sudden death. In sudden death teams do not get a time-out and the winning team will be determined by which team scores first
BEGINNING OF THE GAME
The beginning of the game starts with a jump ball. The possessions for all following jump balls alternate. The start of any necessary overtime periods will begin with a jump ball.
TEAM SIZE
  • Each team shall field no more than 5 players on the court at one time. Teams may have as many players on their roster as they choose. All rosters can be added to throughout the season but no players will be allowed to play without having signed the roster via registration through our website.
  • Teams may start an official game with 4 players and can finish with 3 players. Teams will have 10 minutes from the start of their designated game time to gather all of their teammates to start the game. If the entire team isn’t there by 10 minutes after the designated game time it will result in a forfeit with a final score 25-0
  • All players must wear a SPORTSKIND league shirt or a SPORTSKIND Championship shirt. During the course of the regular season teams are allowed to “pick up” players from the league that are not on their roster in order to field a full team.
  • Two (2) points will be awarded to the opponent for each player checked in without a valid league shirt

  • On the tenth team foul teams will be awarded two free throws for that and every team foul during the remainder of the half. 
  • All shooting fouls are 2 shot fouls unless the shooter is attempting a 3 point shot. Then they will receive three shots.
  • If a foul is an intentional foul the player will receive 2 shots and the ball.
TECHNICAL FOULS
  • Technical fouls are counted as personal fouls. 
  • Any individual that is assessed two technical fouls will be ejected from the game. (Depending on the severity of the technical foul a player can be ejected after being assessed 1 technical under the discretion of the referee.)

PLAYOFFS
It will consist of the top teams in the league playing in a single elimination. If there is a tie in the standings we will go to the head-to-head match-up to determine seeding. No substitutes will be allowed during playoffs and all players must have already played in at least one regular season game and are on the league roster/waiver. Teams that have had two forfeits during the course of the regular season will not be eligible for playoffs.

    • First Offense: Loss of game. Score marked: 25-0.
    • Second Offense: Loss of game and lost ability to make playoffs.
    • Third Offense: Removal from the league.
  • If you know in advance that your team is going to forfeit a game, we encourage you to contact us so we can inform your opponent.
  • Teams have until five minutes past the designated start time to field a full squad (or the league minimum of players required according to rules). If at that time a team is unable to field a legal team, they forfeit the game. The teams may utilize the playing field during their allotted time to play an unofficial game. The official score will be marked as a loss with the respective forfeit score.
