Seacoast Shootout Rules
In general, we
follow most National Federation of High School rules with the following
exceptions.
1. Games will consist of two 16 minute halves
with a five minute intermission. Games are regular "stop on the whistle" time.
There are no situations where running time will occur.
2. Coach’s get two full and two 30 second
timeouts, one additional 30 for overtime.
3. Overtime will be three minutes.
4. Two foul shots be awarded on the 10th
team foul as well as all shooting fouls. There are no 1 + 1 free throws.
5. There is no reduced time for younger ages or
25 point mercy rule.
Home teams (listed
first on the schedule) will be responsible for game ball and official
scorekeeper. Officials may change either, if in their judgment they should.
There is no
designated home bench. First coach to arrive gets choice or the coaches can
decide by a coin flip. Home teams should wear white.
Teams must clean
their bench area of trash and personal articles after each game.
Games do not
start early unless both teams are present, including coaches and at least one
substitute and officials are present.
If appointed
timer is not present (he/she may be working on another court) the officials will
ask either team to provide a fill-in.
If teams are late
we’ll deal with the reason first and make sensible adjustments.
There will be no
forfeits without approval of tournament director, or designee.
Coaches, players
and spectators must adhere to the judgment of the officials. Technical fouls,
ejections and possible forfeiture can result if necessary.
Any player
ejected must sit out the next game as well.
Any coach ejected
must meet with the tournament director to determine if they will be allowed to
coach the next game.
Any spectator
ejected will not be re-admitted for the remainder of the tournament. Refusal to
leave the premises will result in the team forfeiting the game and police will
be contacted.
Good sportsmanship is a requirement, not a request!
