Team Rules:
- Each team consists of three players and one substitute.
- Of the three main players, two of them must be from CCNY.
- The game is played on a half-court, with one basket.
- A coin toss is held immediately before the game. The winning team can choose to take possession of the ball at the start of the game, or take the first possession of a potential overtime period.
- There are no jump balls at any time in the game; neither is there an alternating possession rule. In any held ball/jump ball situation, the offensive team is granted possession at the top of the arc.
- Every successful shot inside the arc is awarded one point, while every successful shot behind the arc is awarded two points.
- The game is a single period of 12 minutes with sudden death at 21 points. The winner is the first team to score 21 or the team with the highest score at the end of the 10 minutes. A tie in regulation leads to an untimed overtime period, which is won by the first team to score two points in overtime. Note that if a game is tied at 20 at the end of regulation, reaching 21 does not end the game. Not that it is not win by an advantage of 2, it is the first team to score two points
- Game play starts with the defensive team exchanging the ball with the offensive team behind the arc. This exchange is also used to restart the game from any goal made or dead ball situation. If a foul is committed that results in the non-fouling team retaining possession, the non-fouling team will receive the exchange.
- If the defense gains possession of the ball within the arc, by a steal, a block or a rebound, the team must move the ball behind the arc before being allowed to take a shot.
- Substitutions can only happen during dead ball situations. I.e. ball out of bounds, foul, or goal scored
- Each team is allowed one 30 second timeout
- Individual personal foul counts are not kept. In other words, players cannot be disqualified on the basis of personal fouls. However, a player who commits two unsportsmanlike fouls is disqualified.
- Fouls during the act of shooting inside the arc are awarded 1 free throw, whilst fouls during the act of shooting behind the arc are awarded 2 free throws. Team fouls will not be kept.
ALL PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO THE CHARITY CHOSEN DURING LAVENDER FEVER HOMECOMING WEEK!
