GAMEPLAY RULES

ALL TEAMS MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 4 PLAYERS. ATG RECOMMENDS 5. If your team shows up with only 3 players & 1 gets injured, your team will forfeit automatically and take a loss.

  • Two Points will be scored for each basket shot from within the 3-point arc; shots from behind the 3-point arc count as three points

    • 3-pointers are high school line, NOT COLLEGE

    • After each basket, the opposite team checks the ball behind the 3-point line. NO NEED TO give it to the ref

  • Teams will switch possession after each made shot. NO MAKERS.

  • Home team will shoot for the ball from behind the 3-point arc to determine who starts with the first possession of the game. Make it, Take it. Miss it, Give it up

  • After each change of possession (missed shot, steal, block), the ball must be cleared (NO MATTER WHAT) behind the 3-point arc. If a team scores a basket without taking the ball back, the basket will NOT COUNT but the team will still keep possession
