3 v 3 Basketball Tournament Rules – Single Elimination
Games are to be played in 20 minutes of running time to 15 points, win by one.
There is no time limit in the championship game.
Game will be scored by 2-points or 1-point with 2-points being awarded for a shot made beyond the arc while all other shots inside the arc will be worth 1-point.
The ball must be taken back behind the 3-point arc with both feet on every change of possession.
Opponent air balls must be returned outside the arc - no free put backs.
If the team on offense does score on an air ball without taking the ball back, the team will retain possession at the top of the arc, but the previous basket scored will NOT count. Dead ball throw ins will be outside the 3-point line at the top of the key.
The game will begin with a coin flip to determine possession.
The player who gets fouled will shoot all free throws.
On the 5th team foul (BONUS), a SINGLE free throw will be awarded to the offended team. Make or miss, the fouling team will get the possession of the ball.
On the 8th team foul (DOUBLE BONUS, a SINGLE free throw will be awarded and make or miss, the offended team will get possession of the ball.
If the player is fouled in the act of shooting and his team is in the penalty (has been fouled at least 5 times) and the shot goes in, the basket counts, and he gets a free throw. Possession after the “and one” free throw will be determined as described above. Prior to the penalty if the shot goes in, the basket will count, but possession will change.
NO OTHER PARTICIPANTS BESIDES THE SHOOTER WILL LINE UP FOR FREE THROWS, THE BALL WILL ALWAYS BE RETURNED TO THE TOP OF THE KEY FOR THE NEXT POSSESION!
Possession will alternate on all jump or held balls situations.
Teams can substitute freely on dead ball situations. Volunteers will help but participants are to respectfully get the referee’s attention when ready to sub.
Each team will receive 1 timeout of 30 seconds.
No timeouts can be taken when the clock is under 2 minutes.
Each court will have a Referee, and a Court Monitor (volunteer). The Court Monitor is there to keep score, time, and watch for the 2-point shot ONLY. The ruling of the Referee will be final.
Referees have total control of a game, calling fouls, technicals and ejections as they see them.
Technical fouls will result in two free throw attempts awarded to the offended team, as well as them receiving the subsequent possession.
Any participant being disrespectful to a referee or official will be ejected from the competition, zero tolerance for rude behavior towards the staff and volunteers working the event!
There is an unmarked No Post-Up Zone under the basket. No camping underneath will be allowed, or a change of possession may be called. – This is also known as the 3-second in the paint rule.
A referee or technical official will make a final decision ON THE COURT. There are no other persons in the Corporate Cup accepting protests.
