Basketball League Information

The following is general information, rules and team registration packet for the Winter/Spring 2008 3-on-3 Basketball League. This packet must be read and filled out completely before any team is accepted into the league. We reserve the right to cancel the league if we do not get a minimum of 6 teams signed up.

League will be on Monday evenings beginning March 3 2008 and ending May 5, 2008.  With playoffs following on May 12, 2008.  The top 8 teams will qualify for playoffs. Games will start at 7:00 PM (depending on the number of teams, we may start at 6:30).   It is the captain’s responsibility to make sure each person on the team has a copy of this packet. Teams will consist of a total roster of 6 players. A team may have a sub that may be used for a maximum of 2 weeks in the regular season without fee, but that player will not be eligible for playoffs without paying the fee. He also must be written on the team’s roster at the beginning of the season. A player must be on the team’s initial roster and have played in the regular season to be eligible for playoffs. Teams have 2 weeks of regular season to finalize their team rosters. After that there are no exceptions to the rule. There is no hanging from the rim. You will be given one warning and then disqualified after that. The league coordinator holds the right to suspend players for offensive, dangerous or destructive behavior. There will be prizes handed out to the two teams who reach the championship game.  Team captains will receive the winnings and it is their responsibility to hand out prizes to their teammates.  Please have all paper work filled out and turned in by February 25, 2008.  FEES MUST BE PAID ON OR BEFORE MARCH 3, 2008  IF FEES ARE NOT PAID, 1ST GAME WILL BE FORFEITED.

*Money will be refunded only if we do not have six teams to play

Due to conflicts in the prior league formerly unwritten ground-rules are clarified below.

  1. 12 Minute halves
  2. 3 minute breaks
  3. Jump-ball goes to the offense
  4. A delay of game penalty: Will be called if a player is fouled at the end of the half or if an obvious attempt is made to prevent a team from getting a final possession. (i.e. a player chucks the ball across the court for no apparent reason) If this rule is enforced the team who is denied a final possession or is fouled will be able to check the ball at the top of the key and have 10 seconds added to the clock for a final possession.
  5. Teams with non-roster players will be forced to forfeit
  6. A team with two attending players may be allowed to play 2-on-2 only if the opposing team’s captain agrees; otherwise they must play 2-on-3 or forfeit
  7. All disputes are expected to be handled arbitrarily between team captains. Only when an agreement cannot be made will the league coordinator or acting league coordinator step in to settle the dispute.
  8. Absolutely no undercutting or intentional elbowing. The league coordinators right to suspension will be used in cases involving these acts.
