Article 9 - Start and end of a quarter, overtime or the game Flashcards
At the start of the second half, team A cannot present 5 players on the court because of injuries, disqualifications etc.
Can the game continue?
Yes - The obligation to present a minimum of 5 players is valid only at the start of the game. Team A may continue to play with fewer than 5 players.
Close to the end of the game, A1 is charged with a fifth foul and leaves the game. Team A is reduced to 4 players as they have no more substitutes available.
Team B is leading by 20 points, the team B head coach demonstrating fair play wants to remove one of the players to also play with 4 players. Is this permitted?
The request by the team B head coach to play with fewer than 5 players shall be denied. As long as a team has sufficient players available, 5 players shall be on the court.
After the start of the game, the referees discover that teams are playing in the wrong direction. Do we continue the game this way?
No - The game shall be stopped as soon as possible without placing either team at a disadvantage. Teams shall correct the direction of play.
The game shall be resumed from the mirror-opposite place corresponding to where the game was stopped.
During the interval of play before the game, A1 is charged with a technical foul. Who is permitted to shoot the FT for the technical foul?
Only one of the designated team B starting 5 players shall attempt the free throw with no line-up. A substitution cannot be granted before playing time has started.
The game shall start with a jump ball.
During the interval of play before the game, A1 is charged with an unsportsmanlike foul against B1.
What is our procedure if B1 is not one of the confirmed starting five players?
Before the start of the game, B1 shall attempt 2 free throws with no line-up.
Since B1 is not confirmed as one of the 5 players to start the game, they shall not remain on the court.
The game shall start with a jump ball and with the 5 team B players confirmed to start the game.
A1 is one of the team A starting 5 players. During the interval of play 7 minutes before the game:
(a) A1 becomes injured.
(b) A1 is charged with a disqualifying foul.
In both cases, A1 shall be replaced with another team A player.
Team B is entitled to replace one of its starting 5 players, if they wish.

No
Where do teams shoot during overtimes?
