Rock, paper, scissors best of 3 will be played at the beginning of each game to determine who gets the 1st possession of the game. Afterwards, alternating possession will be used.
The winner of each game will be the team first to 15 points. Teams must win by 2 up to 20 max. If the game is tied at 1 then the team to score the 20th basket wins. To prevent stalling, the unwritten 30-second shot clock rule will be enforced at the captain's discretion and will result in a change of possession.
There are no timeouts.
Each 3-point field goal (FG) will count as 2 points, all other FGs count as 1 point.
Change of possession after each made basket.
Ball must be checked with opponent after every score.
Ball must be passed into play (cannot be shot or dribbled).
There will be no referees but fouls may be called on a self governing basis if the captains of both teams agree. There will be no shooting fouls. The team that is fouled will take the ball in from the top of the key.
Ball must be cleared to the 3-point line on every change of possession where no basket is scored, including steals, turnovers and air balls. If the ball is not cleared properly, play will be stopped by the captains and the ball will be checked at the top of the key. The team that did not clear the ball properly will retain possession of the ball. On and after a team's 2nd infraction of not clearing the ball properly, they will lose possession of the ball.
