Game Rules for all Divisions
2008 Summer Season

Any player, coach, parent, or fan that gets ejected from a gym by a referee or Town Director, for abusive and/or threatening behavior of any kind, is barred from attending any more games for the summer. Our league follows Mass. Interscholastic Athletic Assn. (MIAA) conduct and sportsmanship rules. Our referees are certified IAABO officials and have total jurisdiction in the gym during and between games. No profanity will be tolerated. No taunting of other players, coaches, or fans will be tolerated.

Teams are required to have distinct numbered jerseys so the referees and players can distinguish between the 2 opposing teams during the game

1.         Games will be played with 14 minute stop time halves. 

2.         3 time outs allowed per game that can be used anytime, 1 additional time out per overtime. 4 timeouts for the playoffs (One 30 second timeout added)

3.         Overtime will be 2 minutes long.

4.         Players will shoot one and one on the opposing team's 7th foul and 2 foul shots after the opposing team's tenth foul each half.

5.         Players will foul out of the game on the fifth personal foul.  Technical fouls count as personal fouls.

6.         3 point shots are allowed for all grade levels.

7.         Both teams must provide volunteers for time keeping and scoring.

8.       Pressing will not be allowed with a 20 point lead under any circumstances. For entering 6th grade divisions, there is no pressing until the last 3 minutes of each half and for entering 5th Grade there is no pressing

9.       One or two officials, patch preferred, will be provided for each game.
