Scoring
All teams must supply a competent scorer – finals are not the time for someone to learn to score. Scorers should remain at the score bench and check the online scores before the referee finalises the game.
Timing Regulations
There are different timing rules in finals. The rules will be included in the Finals Folder documents. The rules for semi-finals and preliminary finals are:
– The clock stops on all time outs throughout the game
– The clock stops on all whistles during the last three minutes of the second half
– Time-outs can be called at any stage of the game (within basketball rules)
– In the event of a drawn game, extra period(s) of three minutes will be played with one minute break between each period, until a result is known. In each extra period, each team is entitled to one time-out each and the clock stops for every whistle and for time-outs
Grand Finals rules are different to semi finals and preliminary finals.
