Intramural Game Rules
Competition
5-on-5 Basketball is a Tier 2 event. Sign-up is required. Companies that miss the sign-up deadline will not be scheduled to play. Athletic skill and physical fitness may be required.
Roster
Desired roster size is seven (7) players. Four (4) players are required to avoid a forfeit. One player from each team is designated as the team captain before the start of play.
Rules
Start time is forfeit time: there is no grace period for players to arrive late. One (1) game forfeit disqualifies a team from further play.
The use of a women’s ball is required if women are on the team roster.
Games are played in two (2) 15-minute halves with a 5-minute break between halves. Games may be shortened at the discretion of officials. One 20-minute half will constitute a complete game. The clock runs continuously until the last two (2) minutes of the game when it will stop for all fouls and time-outs. Each team is entitled to two 1-minute time-outs per game. If the game ends in a tie score, a 3-minute overtime period will be played. If a second overtime is necessary, the team scoring first wins.
The ball changes possession after a personal foul until the game’s last two (2) minutes. During the last two (2) minutes, a player shoots one-and-one free throws when fouled.
During the game, an official may award two (2) free throw attempts for intentional, technical, and flagrant fouls. The offended team gets possession of the ball following the free throw attempts.
The NCAA governs all other rules.
