Game Rules
Each team will provide one volunteer each game to either run the clock or keep the book.
Games will be officiated following I.H.S.A.A. rules with a few exceptions listed below.
EBA is now mandating that all teams in the 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th leagues play man to man defenses
the entire first half. Although we would encourage teams to continue to play man to man in the
second half teams may play zone if they want.
Overtime will be 2 minutes long with no additional timeouts.
The required number of players needed to start a game is 4. There will be a 5-minute grace period
before a forfeit is declared. Every effort will be made to try and create a fair game if possible in case
of a forfeit. We don’t want the other team to miss out on playing.
Each team will only get 4 timeouts per game. No additional timeouts in overtime.
There will be a running clock the final 6 minutes if a team has a 30-point lead.
The clock will stop if the lead goes below 20.
Every effort should be made by the coaches to keep playing time as equal as possible! We
understand that it will be impossible to keep it exact but fully expect them to make sure that
playing time is not an issue. Coaches that do not adhere to this equal playing time rule will not
be ask to coach again.
