RULES AND REGULATIONS

All FIBA rules to apply in terms of personal performance e.g. contact
(offensive and defensive), travelling, double dribble etc but with the
following variations in terms of the game:
Games will consist of 4 x 6 minute quarters during round robin
There will be a running clock except for shooting fouls, during the last
minute of each half a stop clock will be used, with the clock stopping on
every whistle
There will be a maximum of 1 x 45 sec time out per half in round robin
games. The clock will be stopped during these time outs.
Each game starts with a jump ball, with subsequent jump balls and period
restarts becoming alternate possession on sideline at half court
8 seconds to bring ball over half way and a 24 sec shot clock to be employed
Back court violation to be enforced
3 sec in key to be enforced
4 team fouls per quarter leading to bonus shots
5 personal fouls leads to player ejection
Substitutions to be made on any stoppage except basket scored
A 30 point mercy rule to be applied, whereby the game continues but the
score is recorded at that point for league records. Such a mercy rule should,
ethically have been preceded by the winning school's coach already having
eg ceased to play a pressing game and also to have substituted the better
players (starters). No team therefore may win by a margin greater than 30
points.
Defence: At the U13 Games a full court press defence is not allowed except
for the last 2 minutes of the game (final 2 minutes of the 4th quarter).

1. Head to head result
2. Points difference (goal difference) (between tied teams)
