  Winning coaches should submit the final score of each game to joeycheeks@verizon.net within 48 hours of the completion of the ballgame.

 

   A "running time" scenario occurs in games with large point differential.  Anytime in the second half with a 5/6th grade team ahead by 25 points or more, the clock will run continuously except during time-outs or free-throws.  The clock will return to normal operation should the score get closer than the 25 point differential.  A similar scenario was approved for 7/8th grade games once the point differential becomes 35 points.

     

Fall Back Rule:

 Once ahead by the specified numbers of points, a team on defense must fall into the three point arc until the ball passes half court.  Failure to fall back will lead to one of TWO warnings for delay of the game.  A third warning will provoke an indirect technical foul against the head coach.  The offended team receives two free throws and the ball at the division line.  Three indirect technical fouls will lead to the disqualification of the head coach for the remainder of the game.

Jewelry - In accordance with Federation and MIAA regulations and for the safety of our players, no visible jewelry, outside of a properly secured medical alert bracelet or religious item, is to be worn by any member on the court.  Earrings are strictly forbidden and cannot be covered by tape or bandages.  Freshly pierced ears are not an acceptable reason to overrule the regulation; if earrings cannot come out the player will not be allowed to participate.  Game officials are instructed to uphold a zero tolerance policy on jewelry.
