minute extension will be given in case of overtime.
2. Only 5 players per team on the court.
3. A jump ball shall be made at the start of the game to determine the ball possession.
4. The game will follow an Alternating Possession. The team who loses the jump ball will
gain the ball possession at the start of the next quarter, or if a jump ball violation was
called by the officials during the game. Once they have their turn, the other team will
also gain the ball possession following the stated condition.
5. Each team will be given a shot-clock of 24 seconds to shoot the ball or hit the rim to
avoid violation while in ball possession. Once the offensive team grabs the rebound,
the shot clock will reset to 14 seconds.
6. The clock will be running unless a foul or timeout will be called. The clock will stop in
free throws. If a player made the last free throw, the clock will resume after the ball

was touched by a player. The clock will not stop for violations or if a team scores,
except during the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter.

game.
9. Each team will be allotted with five (5) fouls per quarter. Once a team exceeds this
allotment, they will be in “penalty” and the opposing team will be in “bonus”, which
means the officials will award the opposing team with two (2) free throws for every
additional foul committed by the other team in that quarter.
