Rules

If you are playing in the Winter League, please ensure you have read the rules and regulation.

2017 Official FIBA Rules (Not seen these new rules before? Here is a summary of the 2017 rule changes)

JBBA Disciplinary Policy

For the most part this division runs according to the current FIBA rules and regulations however, there are the following exceptions and additions in the interest of fairness and to ensure the smooth running of the league:

Games are made up of 4 x 10 min quarters
Division 1 will be stopped clock
Division 2 will be running clock*
Draws are not allowed, over time periods of 2 min will be played until a winner is determined
If there are time constraints preventing standard over time, over time will be played as 'golden goal' (i.e next basket wins) to force a winner.
Teams who fail to provide officials for their rostered duties will be penalised accordingly (e.g. docking of points) on a case-by-case basis.

*Up until the 8th minute of the 4th quarter.
At this time if the difference in score between the two teams is 5 points or less, or if the score gap becomes 5 or less after this point, then the rest of the game is played as stopped clock (irrespective of wether the gap grows to over 5 points at any later point).
