CSC BASKETBALL RULES & REGULATIONS

1. Each individual participant must print & sign his/her name on the team waiver/roster form to be eligible for participation in CitiesSportsConnection leagues & events. This form is available at all league games. All team rosters are deemed final at the mid-season point for all leagues. Team captains are responsible for having all team members sign this waiver/roster form. Be aware that there are inherent risks to participating in any athletic activity. CSC does not provide insurance for the participants of our leagues. Each player as a result of participation in the leagues assumes all liability and risk of injury. It is strongly suggested that each player obtain medical and liability insurance prior to participating in any league activity.
2. ALL DECISIONS OF THE OFFICIALS ARE FINAL!!!
3. Each team is required to have team uniforms or an identified "TEAM COLOR". Each team member needs to bring this uniform or team color shirt to each game, along with a WHITE SHIRT in case the other team uses the same color, to use for identification purposes. Ask a CSC representative or give us a call @ (612) 929-9009 for further assistance.
4. Standard Division I college rules (ie: Big Ten games, etc.) apply in all situations not specific to CSC league rules as outlined below:
5. Games consist of two twenty-minute halves with continually running time. Each team is allowed two time-outs per game. The last 30 seconds of the first half, and the last two minutes of the game will have stop-time. One three minute overtime period will be played if the game is tied at the end of regulation with one minute of stop-time.
6. Maximum of five players on the court at all times. The minimum number of players a team may compete with is four.
7. Substitutions may occur at any dead-ball situation (a whistle). The official must be made aware of all substitutions.
8. Each team is required to supply an individual to keep track of score, team fouls and other necessary information to ensure the game runs smoothly and accurately. This may be a team member or an appointed team representative.
9. Alternate possession rule is in effect for the entire length of the contest, after the initial tip to start the game.
10. There is no dunking in CSC Basketball. This includes before, during and after each game. A Technical Foul will be issued for any such activity. As always, you break it...you buy it!
11. Two technical foul violations for any player is a ticket to the bench for the rest of the day. Keep it clean and have fun out there!
12. Seven team fouls in a half earns the opponent the bonus (one-and-one free throws). The double bonus (two free throws) is in effect starting with the tenth team foul per half.
13. All decisions of the officials are final. Basketball is a tough sport to officiate, so give your refs some credit. Any questionable talk directed toward the officials will result in a warning to the player and to the team. Further abuse will earn you a technical and possible ejection, which is up to the discretion of the referee. Captains are the official team representatives and are responsible for the behavior and actions of all team players and associated individuals. Just play ball!
14. Each team is responsible for the conduct of their fans. The official has discretion in all situations.
