Slam Dunk Hoops

Each team has a 5 minute grace period after its scheduled game time to field a minimum of 4 players. Otherwise, the opposing team's captain may either decide to play, permit borrowed players or to take win by forfeit. Game clock will begin running during grace period.

Game clock will start immediately before tip-off and will run non-stop for 25 minutes/half with one 5 minute intermission. Regular season ties will result in consecutive 2 minute overtime periods. Each team is permitted one 1 minute time-out per half.

Final standings will be based on team record with top team per conference qualifying for championship game, following playoff semi-finals.

Should any two teams have same record, following tie-breaking system will be employed: 1. Record in head-to-head competition; 2. Points differential for season; 3. Coin toss.

Player trades must be approved by all players involved, by captains for both teams and by league commissioner. Extra players may also be added to team roster during season. All such roster moves must be completed by game 4.

Following tip-off, offensive players must move toward front court basket by passing or dribbling beyond half-court line. Shots must be taken within thirty seconds, and offensive player holding or dribbling ball for over five seconds in front court will result in possession by defensive team. "Double-dribbles" and "airballs" will result in change of possession. Free throws=1pt. Baskets shot from in front of free-throw line=2pts. Baskets shot from behind free throw line=3pts.
