Rules

  • Each team will play 6 regular season games, followed by two playoff games. Playoff seeding will be determined by the standings/results of the regular season
  • Each game will consist of one (1) 18 minute running half and one (1) 14 minute half with an ELAM ENDING
  • Halftime is two (2) minutes
  • After 14 minutes in the 2nd half, we will go to the ELAM ENDING/TARGET SCORE- ADD 6 POINTS TO THE HIGHEST SCORE See Video
  • Each team will get one (1) timeout per game. Timeouts are 45 seconds long
  • Every free throw/shooting foul is one (1) free throw. A make equals two (2) points and a miss equals zero (0) points
  • AND ONE’s results in three (3) points, NO free throw
  • Pressing: 2nd/3rd Grade will have a NO press rule in order to keep the flow of the game going.  For all other grades, pressing is permitted in the 2nd half, if the score is within 10 points. ALL fouls in ELAM TIME result in FREE THROW
  • Playing time will be distributed equally amongst the players to best of their coach’s ability

Playoff Seedings

  • In the event of a tie in the standings, the higher seed for playoffs will go to the team that won the latest head-to-head matchup.
  • In the event of a three-way time, the higher seed for playoffs will go to the team with the best head-to-head between the three teams during the latest matchup (ie- team that goes 2-0).
  • If there is still a three-way tie (ie-each team is 1-1 in the latest matchups), the higher seed will go to the team with the highest point differential for the latest of the matchups.
