LMR Basketball

Format:

Round Robin

Match Format:

All Games will consist of two 20 minute halves. The half time interval shall be 2 minutes.

Points are to be awarded for the round-robin matches to determine the winners of each pool on the following basis:

                                 Win: 2 points      Draw: 1 point      Loss: 0 points

Should two teams finish the competition with the same number of points, the winner of the match between these teams will assume the higher position.  If this match was a draw or if more than two teams finished equal then percentage will be used.

When doing these calculations involving a three way tie, the convener should only include the results of the 3 teams tied NOT the results from the games with the fourth team. Please note when doing calculations in a two way tie ALL teams’ results are to be used!

One time-out per half, the clock stops for all infringements in the last two minutes of the second half unless one team is ahead by more than 10 points.  The clock stops for ALL time outs.

Scorers and timekeepers may be expected to officiate in games other than those in which their school is participating.

The ‘24 second rule’ will not be used.

In all games two penalty shots will be taken by a team when its opposition has fouled eight or more times in one half.

Teams are restricted to a maximum of 10 players per game and 15 for the day.
