• 3 on 3 Basketball is a half court game played by two teams of 3 players each including a minimum of three substitutes. Substitutions may be made after a basket or any stoppage of play.
• All games are self-officiated. There is no fouling out. Fouls will be called on the honor system.
• Teams are limited to a total of six players on the team roster with one being Team Captain. Teams will be divided based on an evaluation of each player on orientation night.
• Each game shall last 40 minutes. If, at the conclusion of 40 minutes of play the game is tied, the next team to score shall win.

On defensive rebounds or steals the ball must be taken behind any point of the three-point arc. And the in possession of the ball may maintain control and attempt to score.
