the rules of GR3G Hoops are as follows: these apply for ALL games
- games are played on a half court for 3-on-3 and full court for 5-on-5
- we use the on-court arc, shots inside the arc are worth 2 points and outside the arc are worth three points
- made shots from beyond our added “3G” line at 23-feet or beyond activate a “Make It, Take It” for the offense
- shooting fouls create one free throw per number of points of shot taken
- players fouled on “3G” makes are rewarded with one free throw and the ball
- substitutions may be made on a dead ball or by calling timeout
- each team receives two 60-second timeouts
- all defensive strategies are allowed
- we use a 29.5 size game ball
- additional game specific rules are listed below
3-on-3 rules: to win, a team must score EXACTLY 36 points
- after 3 team fouls, players foul out for 1 possession for each defensive infraction
- the official must distribute the ball beyond the “3G” line after each made basket
- the inbounding player is free to dribble or pass the ball inbounds
- defensive rebounds and steals must be cleared beyond the on-court arc ONLY if the ball touched the rim
- the ball is cleared when a player establishes BOTH feet behind the on-court arc
- halftime happens when one team reaches 21 points
5-on-5 rules: games are played with four 9-minute quarters
- after 3 team fouls, players enter the “3G” bonus: three free throws per defensive foul
