Intramural Game Rules
Competition
3-on-3 Basketball is a Tier 2 event; Women’s 3-on-3 Basketball is a Tier 3. Sign-up is required. Companies that miss the sign-up deadline will not be scheduled to play. Athletic skills and physical fitness may be required.
Roster
The desired roster size is five players. Two players are required to avoid a forfeit. Before the start of play, one player from each team is designated as the team captain.
Rules
Start time is forfeit time: there is no grace period for players to arrive late. One game forfeit disqualifies a team from further play.
Each basket is worth one point, and each game has a maximum time limit of 30 minutes. Games are played to 15 points; a 2-point margin is required. The winner is declared with a 2-point margin or the first to score 20 points.
After a point is scored, the ball goes to the scored-upon team, i.e., do not play make-it, take-it.
Following any loss of possession, the team gaining control initiates its scoring attempt from a point behind an imaginary line parallel to the baseline and tangent to the free-throw circle, i.e., take it back behind the 3-point circle.
There are no free throws. There are no jump balls.
Each team is entitled to one 1-minute time-out.
A coin toss determines the first possession of the game. In the event of a ball tie-up, possession will alternate.
While an intramural staff member will supervise all play, the offensive team will call fouls during preliminary rounds. Athletic officers or intramural staff will officiate semifinal and final games.
Any player charged with three personal fouls is disqualified from the game. The NCAA governs all other rules.
