3 on 3 Tournament Rules
1. Home Team will shoot for ball at the start of each game
2. Each game will go to 21 points or 15 minutes long.
3. Playing by 2’s and 3’s
4. After a basket has been scored, a player must put the ball in play behind the 3 pt line.
5. All held balls will be put into play behind the 3 pt line, alternating possession.
6. On defensive rebounds or steals, players must return the ball across the 3 pt line before a
basket may be attempted. If a basket is shot without doing so, it will result in a turnover.
7. Fouls will be called. A foul called in the act of shooting will result in 1 free throw. The free
throw will be worth the value of where the foul occurred. A 2pt basket means 1 free throw worth 2
points. A 3pt basket means 1 free throw worth 3 points. A non-shooting foul will result in
possession at top of key. Any non-shooting fouls that occur once a team reaches 15 points will be
awarded a foul shot worth 2 points.
8. All free throws will have 2 defensive players on line and 1 offensive plus the shooter. We will
go with rule upon the release. Players behind the foul shooter need to wait until it hits the rim
just like shooter.
9. The 3 second rule still applies on offense.
10. Substitutions may be made after a made basket or an out of bounds play.
11. Each team is only allowed one 30-second timeout.
12. If the game ends in a tie after regulation time, there will be a one-minute overtime period.
Possession determined by home team shooting for ball.
13. Ties at the end of first overtime period will go next point wins.
