POSSESSION ⓸ WHICH TEAM RECEIVES THE BALL FIRST? A coin toss prior to each game determines which team gets the ball. The team that wins the coin toss has the option of receiving the ball first or deferring to receive the ball first if there is overtime. ⓹ CHECKED BALL An opposing player must “check the ball” before it is put into play. The “check-in” must occur behind the designated line above the ⓶ point arc and not any out-of-bounds line. The on-ball defender must remain below the ⓶ point arc until the ball is “checked” and possessed. The ball may be passed, dribbled, or a shot may be attempted once it is “checked” and possessed. EXCEPTION: (8-9 Youth Div) If the initial action after a “checked” ball is a pass, it shall not be contested by the opposing team if made behind the free throw line extended. If it is made below the free throw line extended, toward the basket, the pass may be contested. ⓺ TAKING IT BACK The ball must be “taken back” behind the ⓶ point arc on each change of possession, regardless of whether a shot was attempted. The ball is considered behind the ⓶ point arc when neither foot of the player possessing the ball is inside nor touching the arc. A take back violation occurs as soon as a player attempts a shot and results in loss of possession and any points just scored. ⓻ OUT OF BOUNDS A ball out-of-bounds will be taken out from behind the designated line above the ⓶ point arc and not from any out-of-bounds line. ⓼ CHANGE OF POSSESSION The ball must change possession after scored baskets and after all F/T attempts, except for a: Technical, Intentional, or Flagrant foul. There is no “make it, take it” rule. ⓽ STEALING THE BALL (8-9 Youth Div) In 8-9 Youth Div: There will be a no-steal rule when a player is either dribbling or holding the ball. ⓾ STALLING Always Prohibited: Stalling involves a style of play in which a team does not actively attempt to advance the ball toward the basket and shoot the ball at the basket. A method used to run out the game clock to preserve a win. Stalling is unsportsmanlike, resulting in a "Ⓣ" against the offending team. ⑪ JUMP BALL No alternating poss | Ball awarded to the defense.

⑫ DUNKING & STEALS Dunking is only allowed in Elite Div., except during warm-ups. Dunking is not allowed at any time, including during warm-ups, in all other divisions. Unauthorized Dunking: Unsportsmanlike | "Ⓣ"echnical foul.

⓾ STALLING (always prohibited) Involves a style of play in which a team does not actively attempt to advance the ball toward the basket and shoot the ball at the basket. It is a method used to run out the game clock to preserve a win. Stalling is unsportsmanlike, resulting in a "Ⓣ" against the offending team.

⓵ COMMON FOUL Referees will call fouls for all games. All non-shooting fouls, including offensive fouls, shall result in ⓵ free throw. A made basket shall not count when an offensive foul occurs. If the fouled player is in the “act of shooting” and the shot is missed, that player will be awarded ⓵ free throw on a ⓵ point try and ⓶ free throws on a ⓶ point try. If the ⓵ or ⓶ point try is made, the basket counts and the fouled player will receive ⓵ free throw. During a free throw, all players must stand behind the free throw line. An opposing player that intentionally disrupts the shooter’s unhindered throw, which is missed, entitles the shooter to another free throw. A change of possession will result following the last of any free throws, regardless of whether the last free throw is made or missed. EXCEPTION: No free throws are awarded for any Intentional, Technical, or Flagrant foul. With Intentional and Technical fouls, the offended team receives ⓵ point and obtains possession of the ball. With Flagrant fouls, the offended team receives ⓶ points and possession of the ball. EXCEPTION: (Elite Div) Team fouls will be counted each game. All fouls, incl Offensive, Intentional, Technical, and Flagrant, count as team fouls. Team fouls ⓵-⓺ | Result in normal sanctions. Team foul ⓻ | All fouls will result in ⓶ free throws and, if the basket associated with the foul is made, those point(s) are also awarded.

⓶ INTENTIONAL FOUL Includes, but is not limited to, a foul designed to neutralize an opponent’s obvious advantageous position.. It may be an act that is not a legitimate effort to directly play the ball, or while attempting to play the ball, results in excessive contact.

⓷ TECHNICAL FOUL Incl. unsportsmanlike acts such as taunting, baiting, or trash talk by a player or coach. Taunting/Baiting can involve derogatory remarks or gestures that incite or insult a player, referee, tourn official, or fan. Trash talk involves a deeply personal, verbal attack directed toward any person involved in the event. In extreme cases the player or coach may be suspended from play and removed from the court for the remainder of that game and possibly for the rest of the tournament. A "Ⓣ" will be assessed if a team is stalling in the interest of preserving a winning margin.

⓸ FLAGRANT FOUL May be an act of a violent or aggressive nature or one that displays unacceptable conduct. It may or may not be intentional. It may involve violent or aggressive contact such as striking, kicking, kneeing, moving under an opponent who is in the air, and crouching or hipping in a manner that could cause severe injury to the opponent. It may also involve “dead ball” contact or dialogue which is extreme, persistent, aggressive, or abusive. A Flagrant foul will also be assessed on any player who comes into physical contact with or assaults a referee or tourn official. A player committing a Flagrant will be suspended from play for the remainder of that game and possibly for the rest of the tourn, as determined by a tourn official.
