Rules of the Game
Intramural basketball abides by the 2013-2014 National Federation of High School Association Rules
with the following exceptions or points of emphasis:
1. Team Composition: Teams may consist of four (minimum) to five (maximum) players on the
court. If the team has less than four players by game time, a forfeit will be awarded.
2. Game Duration: Each game will consist of two 20-minute halves with a two-minute break
between halves.
3. Timing: The clock will stop only for time-outs and injuries until the last two minutes of the second half,
unless one team is ahead by 10 or more points; in which case the clock will continue to run. If the score
differential is less than 10 points, the clock will stop on every dead ball.
4. Timeouts: Each team will have 3 time-outs per game. Only one time-out is permitted in case of
overtime. No accumulation of time-outs is allowed.
5. Overtime: In the event of a tie game, during regular season play, the game will stand as a tie and each
team will be credited with a win. During tournament, a three-minute overtime period will be played with
the clock stopping during the last minute. If a tie still exists, another overtime is played until a winner is
determined.
6. Bonus free throws: Two bonus free throws will be awarded after seven team fouls per half.
7. Dunking: Slam-dunking can only occur during live ball play. Dunking before the game, during
halftime, or during time-outs will result in a technical foul.
8. Equipment: Women may play with either the women’s or men’s regulation sized basketball.
However, if both teams do not agree on the ball size, a women’s regulation basketball will be
used for play.
The consumption of Alcoholic Beverages while participating or spectating in the Intramural
Basketball League is prohibited and will result in immediate removal of the offending team from
the league and possible further university/department/program sanctions.
Sportsmanship
Sportsmanship is everyone's responsibility. We hope that everyone will conduct himself in a mature and
friendly manner. Team captains are responsible for the conduct of their players and their spectators. The
Casper College Intramural Program has identified the following principles as our “Spirit of
Sportsmanship” guidelines. We encourage all employees, participants, and spectators to incorporate these
principles on the playing field.
Sportsmanship is walking off the field and not knowing who won or lost
Have an open mind to others' weaknesses and have a forgiving attitude.
Officiating is hard. Don’t make it harder
Have pride in one's performance and one's team.
If it might hurt someone, don’t do it.
Be a friend, not an enemy, and create a positive environment.
