STETSON UNIVERSITY INTRAMURAL SPORTS
3-ON-3 BASKETBALL RULES
(9/08)
NFHS rules will govern play, except as modified by the following Stetson University rules:
- Games played on half court.
- One point will be scored for each basket with three point shots counting as two.
- All games will be played to 30 points with a 35 minute time limit. All games are win by two points. Exception: If at the end of the time limit a team is ahead by 1 point then they will win.
- If the game is tied at the time limit, the winner will be the first team ahead by two points.
- Teams will shoot from behind the three-point line to determine who starts with possession of the ball.
- The team scoring a basket retains possession of the ball.
- After every made basket or change of possession, the ball must be taken back behind the three point line before a shot can be attempted. If a team scores a bucket without taking the ball back, the basket will be disallowed and the defensive team will gain possession.
- After a basket, out of bounds, violation, or foul, the defense must "check" the ball before play resumes and the ball must be passed to start play. There are no free throws.
- The game is self-officiated. Players must call fouls and violations as necessary to keep the game under control.
- All held-balls, "jump-ball" tie-ups, are awarded to the defense.
- Substitutions may be made at any time that play is stopped.
