Women's Basketball

Rules are the same as for college play with the following exceptions:

  • The length of playing time will be divided into two 18 minute halves.
     
  • The halftime break is three minutes.
     
  • Once started, the clock will run continuously until the end of the half.
     
  • Each team will have one time out per game.
     
  • Substitution can only occur during a dead ball period. The sub must alert the official who will wave the sub into the game.
     
  • Overtime games will be decided by playing an extra period of three minutes. The team ahead at the end of this period wins. If the game is still tied, a sudden death period will be started immediately and the team scoring first either by free throw or field goal will be the winner.
     
  • Once the official placed the ball at the free throw line, the shooter has ten seconds to take the ball and to complete the shot. If the player fails to step to the line and shoot the ball in the allotted time, the ball will be awarded to the opposing team at the sideline and opposite from the free throw stripe.
     
  • A ball not in-bounded within five seconds is turned over to the other team. A player stepping over the restraining line to inbound the ball will also turn the ball over to the other team.
     
  • Bonus free throws will be shot on the 7th team foul of each half. Double bonus will be awarded on the 10th team foul.
     
  • Any fouls involving excessive force or that undercut a player will result in two free throws for the offended player plus his/her team will retain the ball at mid- court. The person whistled for the foul will be ejected from the game immediately and serve a minimum two game suspension.
     
  • Non-shooting fouls will be taken out of bounds nearest the point of the foul.
     
  •  When a technical foul is called on a player, he/she will be ejected for the remaining of the game and must leave the gym immediately. The technical will also be reported in the Intramural Sports Department. A second technical will result in a 1 game suspension. A third technical will result in suspension from the league for the remainder of the season.

 

  • A basket by a male or female is worth the usual point values (2 or 3 points). 

 General Regulations

Teams may provide their own jersey's. However, if no team has "game jersey's", pennies will be checked out to each team captain 5 minutes before game time. Captains will be charged for jerseys not returned after the game."

A team must have 80% of the starting line-up (4 players) on the floor at the designated starting time, and then 5 minutes will be granted to wait for the 5th  otherwise it will be declared a forfeit.

Players may only play with one team. If he/she plays for a team and is not signed up, he/she will be declared ineligible for further basketball competition and face disciplinary action. All games played prior to this time will be forfeited. If found playing later, the team on which he/she is playing will forfeit the game and face further disciplinary sanctions from the Intramural Council.

Each team must select someone to assist with the scoring during the game. There must be a scorekeeper from each team at the score sheet throughout the entire game.

Changes in the roster can be made up to the beginning of the first game. Additions and deletions to the original roster after the first game may be made only with permission of the Intramural Director.

Authority of Officials

Any fouls involving excessive force, the undercut of a player and misconduct behavior will result in two free throws for the offended player plus his/her team will retain the ball at mid- court. The person whistled for the foul will be ejected from the game immediately and serve a minimum two game suspension.
