Adult Basketball League Rules - PAL

Each Team is required to place 5 'registered' Team players on the Court for each game.  A team 'may' play with 4 players and the opposing team has the right to decide whether they 'match' 4 players or play with the normal '5.'  Whatever decision the opposing Team makes is final - and the game will be counted as official.  ALL players must be registered at the PAL - if a player on any team is not registered and plays, the PAL has the authority to forfeit the game score and disqualify the player for future contests.

(2) - 20 Minute Halves - Running Clock

• Clock will stop UNDER 2 Minutes in each half (on every whistle)
• Clock will RUN on Free Throws (10 second Free Throw Violation is applicable)

2-30 Second Timeouts Per Team, Per Half - "Use it or Lose it"

Full-Court Pressing is ONLY allowed under 2 minutes in each Half.  Otherwise, the Defense can pick up at Half Court only (The Offense must be able to achieve '2' feet into half court before the Defense is applied).  1^st Full Court press violation is a warning - subsequent warnings will result in a 1-shot technical foul, as these violations slow down the offense.

2s and 3s are counted, per normal basketball rules

All Basketball fouls and violations are enforced

• 7 Team fouls in a Half will result in 'Double Bonus' and '2' free throws will be awarded for every foul thereafter

Please be respectful to all Players, Teams, and Officials.  Any player that receives 2 technical fouls in a game will be ejected from the contest and suspended 1 game.  Further violations will be subject to PAL administration and further disciplinary action.
