Rules of the Gr3g League are as follows:
IN GAME
- games are played on a full court in 5v5
- teams must field 4 players (option of 4v4 or allowing subs)
- first team to score 63 points wins OR whoever is ahead after 33 minutes
- games are played on a 33-minute running clock
- shots inside the arc are worth 2 points & outside are worth three points
- shots made beyond our added “3G” line activate a “Make It, Take It”
- at dead ball, defense ALWAYS returns LIVE BALL to offense BEHIND mid-court to restart
- offense may dribble, shoot or pass to start play (thus limiting inbounds play injuries)
- substitutions ONLY ALLOWED on a dead ball
- “call your own” fouls; but don’t be a “violations czar” or “overzealous ref”
- each team receives one 60-second timeout
- all HALF-COURT defensive strategies are allowed, MAN-TO-MAN is preferred
- Move the ball! Just HOOP, please don’t stall in the final minutes. Open shots deserve to be taken.

EACH TEAM’S 5 ON-COURT PLAYERS AT BUZZER SHOOT 3G’S AS A TEAM.
