1.   Mandatory substitutions will be made at the mid-point of each quarter.  Quarter will be 10 minutes each.  The clock will run continuously except in the last 30 seconds of each quarter and last minute of the game.
2.    Copies of rotation sheets will be turned in to the score keeper and the opposing coach before the game. (By the end of the 1^st 5 minute period at the latest)
3.    If the rotation sheet is not followed and the coach has not notified the score keeper of a change, a technical foul will be assessed and the line-up will be adjusted immediately.  This is an administrative technical foul, not for attitude.
4.    There will be no free substitutions during the game except for the appointed substitution timeouts, foul trouble,  and for injury.
Foul trouble is defined as 3 fouls in the 1^st half and 4 fouls in the 2^nd half.
5.      A man-to-man defense will be employed during the game.  The only time that double-teams are permitted is when a player is advancing toward the basket where help defense is needed.  Double-teaming is also permitted in the lane area.
6.      Illegal defense will be defined as a man playing an area of the court rather than paying attention to a specific offensive player.  Illegal defense calls will also include double-teams.  This will be a judgement call by the official.  One warning per half will be allowed on each team.  Any additional infractions will result in a technical foul.
7.     The defense will not extend beyond the half court  line.  In the boys blue and girls gray divisions, the defenses must not play defense on the ball until it passes the gray line beyond half court.  Once it passes that gray line, the defense may then play defense up to the mid-court line.  This allows the offense to initiate their offense.  Back-court defense will be defined as a defender playing defense beyond the half court line  (Or gray line in the boys blue & girls gray).  This would consist of playing a particular defense or attempting to intercept a pass.  There will be one warning per team per half.  Any additional infractions will result in a technical foul.  Any player who may take a defensive stance but quickly realizes that they are in error and ceases the defense should not be called for back court defense.
8.       A full court man to man defense can be employed the last 2 minutes of game.  If a team is winning by more than 10 points, they will not press (full court) in the last 2 minutes. There should be no double-teaming on the press.   
9.       A technical foul will be 2 shots and the ball.
10.    The mid-court line will be the "10 second" as well as the "over and back" line.
11.    Standard rules of basketball will apply. 
12.    There should be no double teaming unless a player is driving to the basket.  A second player can give assistance but when the ball is picked up, must return to their own player.  A continued double team will result in a warning and then a technical foul.  Double teaming is permitted in the lane area.
13.    Basket height shall be at 10 ft. for boy's Red, White, & girl's Scarlet divisions and 9 ft. for boy's Blue and girl's Gray divisions.
14.   28.5" size balls will be used.
15.    A player will be disqualified after 5 personal fouls.  Any technical fouls will be counted as a personal foul.  Any player receiving a technical foul will be subbed out immediately.
16.    On the 7^th team foul of the half, a 1 and 1 will result.  On the 10^th team foul of the half, 2 shots will be awarded.
17.   The blue and gray division players are permitted to jump across the foul line on free throws but must not continue for the rebound.
18.    Coaches should have subs ready at the appointed times.  Our schedule is very tight this year.  Substitution timeouts will be no more than 20 seconds.
19.  Each team will be given 3 full timeouts per game.
20.  Each player shall play no less than half of the game and no more than 1 extra period than any player present.
