 Each team must provide an adult volunteer for the score book or clock.


Full Court Pressing:
 No Full Court Press at 3rd Grade boys, 3rd Grade Girls, 4th Grade Girls and 4th/5th grade girls divisions, until the last 30 seconds of regulation or overtime, only if the point differential is less than 10 points.

 If the game remains tied after the first overtime, the 2nd overtime will be sudden death 2-minute overtime, with the clock stopping on all timeouts, injuries and all dead balls in the last minute of sudden death overtime. The first team to score wins.
