RULES

All players must be 18 years of age or over and sign the team registration/indemnity form prior to taking the court at each game.
Teams may introduce new players throughout the round’s games of the competition.
If a team is short of players for a match during rounds’ games, it is acceptable to have a player registered to another team to play for the team at the duty manager’s discretion, and with the opposition’s agreement.
New players may NOT be introduced during finals.
To be eligible to participate in finals, each player must have signed on and played for at least one game during the season. Players may play for only one team during finals

Each player will be alllowed 5 personal fouls.
A player shall be disqualified for the remainder of the game when he/she is charged with 2 unsportsmanlike fouls or 2 technical fouls, or with 1 technical foul and 1 unsportsmanlike foul.
Team fouls. Subject to FIBA rules, on the 8th team foul, the opposition player fouled will be awarded 2 free throws. Team fouls are re started each half. Personal fouls carry over.

Uniforms/team singlets should be of the same design and colour with numbers on both the front and back. No players can have the same two numbers.
If teams choose not to supply their own team singlets, a set of bibs may be hired from Intrinsic Sports for the season. It is the responsibility of the team to clean and bring the bibs to the game each week. At the end of the season, the set of bibs may be returned to Intrinsic Sports; if the set is intact, the holding deposit will be returned in full.
A ball is provided for match use only.

The clock will start on time. If a team cannot field 4 or more players within 5 minutes of the scheduled starting time that team will forfeit the match. The team ready to play will be awarded a 20-0 win. However, if after 5 minutes enough players are available, a social game may continue.
If you know in advance that your team has to forfeit a game, please phone or text Intrinsic Sports on 0404 069 729 by 3pm on game day so that we can inform the opposing team.

Rained out games will be rescheduled where possible, however extensions to the season are at the discretion of the South Eveleigh Precinct.

Males MAY NOT GUARD females in the key who are in the act of shooting. Males judged by the referee to be guarding females in the key who are in the act of shooting will be penalised as though goal tending and 2 points will be awarded whether or not a shot is taken.
If a female player is fouled in the key in the act of shooting by a male player, then two points will be awarded whether or not a shot is taken or successful. One further penalty shot will also be awarded.
If a female player is fouled in the key by a male player while not in the act of shooting, then a side/baseline ball will be awarded.
In the above situations it is the referee who will decide if guarding has occurred and when the act of shooting begins.

(C1): Not a legitimate attempt to play the ball within the spirit and intent of the rules.
(C2): Excessive, hard contact caused by a player in an effort to play the ball or an opponent.
(C3): An UNNECESSARY CONTACT caused by a defensive player in order to stop the progress of the offensive team in transition. This applies until the offensive player begins the act of shooting.
(C4): ANY CONTACT by a defensive player from behind or laterally on an opponent in an attempt to stop the fast break where there is no defensive player between the offensive player and the opponent’s basket. This applies until the offensive player begins the act of shooting.
(C5): Contact by a defensive player on an opponent on the playing court during the last 2 minutes in the last period (second half) and in each extra period, when the ball is out-of-bounds for a throw-in and still in the hands of the official or at the disposal of the player taking the throw-in.

The players will abide by the referee’s ruling at all times.
