Generic FIBA-endorsed 3x3 Event Term and Conditions

The following rules have been designed to ensure fair play for all participants, from players to
referees and table officials. You have read and understand these rules prior to participation,
and you agree that these rules shall govern your participation in the event. The event
organizer may amend these rules with additional terms and conditions.

Any questions concerning these rules should be directed to the organizer of the event.

Good sportsmanship

Good sportsmanship and cooperation is both anticipated and expected. The team captain
shall aid in controlling teammates’ and team followers’ conduct and will represent his/her
team as a spokesperson at all times during the event.

Poor sportsmanship, including acts such as fighting, taunting, intimidating or verbally


attacking an event official, player or spectator may lead to forfeit of the game and/or removal
of that player, team and/or spectator from the event, and further sanctions by the event
organizer, National Basketball Federation or FIBA (International Basketball Federation).

Eligibility

Each team must have minimum three (3) and maximum four (4) players on its event roster
that have been registered by the predetermined entry deadline and one of whom is
designated as team captain. As information provided to the organizer of the event during
registration is the basis for event scheduling, any false information is grounds for
disqualification.

Additions and/or changes to any roster must be directly managed on play.fiba3x3.com and/or
communicated in writing to the organizer, and must be completed prior to the start of a team's
first game of the event. A player is allowed to participate for only one team within the same
category for the duration of the event.

Only the players listed on the event roster are eligible to play. The organizer of the event
reserves the right to request identification from players at any time during the event.
Therefore, all participants are encouraged to bring valid picture identification documents to
the event.

Game Times

All printed schedules, if any, handed out by the organizer of the event are effective through
only the event’s first game. Unless otherwise communicated by the organizer of the event,

1
following the event’s first game, each team is required to check the master scoreboard, event
web site and/or play.fiba3x3.com for all official schedules, times, courts, revisions, and
general game information.

Teams must be ready to begin play at their scheduled start time. Teams are encouraged to
remain in contact with their court to observe the effects of scheduling changes that could
occur mainly due to weather or other unexpected delays. Bad weather and non-playable
situations may result in the modification or cancellation of the event. Under these unlikely
circumstances team entry fees will not be refunded.

Authorized Equipment & Apparel

As a player, you are not allowed to wear a guard, cast, hard brace or other potentially
dangerous equipment on your elbow, hand, wrist, finger, or forearm, including equipment
made of hard leather, plastic, plaster or metal – even if the equipment is covered with soft
padding. Soft braces, sleeves and wraps will be allowed unless they pose a danger to other
players. In addition, jewelry, hair bands and clips will not be allowed. The organizer of the
event retains the right to disallow any equipment or apparel that it judges to be dangerous or
inappropriate.

Rules of the Game / Refereeing

All games are played in accordance with the official 3x3 Rules of the Game (available for
download at https://fiba3x3.com/rules)

As an amendment to the official 3x3 Rules of the Game, an organizer can forfeit a game if a
team is not on the court ready to play on the scheduled time.

Without prejudice of the official 3x3 Rules of the Game, decisions made by the referees are
final, and are not subject to review by video or other recordings, or other sources. The
referees shall have the power to make decisions on any point not specifically covered in the
official 3x3 Rules of the Game and to interpret the intent and purpose thereof.

After the Game

Unless otherwise communicated by the organizer of the event, the captain of the winning
team must obtain the score sheet from the referee or court monitor and deliver this score
sheet to the master Scoreboard. The master scoreboard contains the official schedule for the
event. After each game, each team must check the master scoreboard for further scheduling
and information.

Competition Administration

Any questions or disputes will be discussed only with the team captain. All disputes which do
not fall under the authority of the referees must be brought to the attention of the organizer of
the event as soon as the incident in question has happened. Disputes will not be heard after
the event has been completed.
