1. Teams not fielding five players at game time may play with four players. If one of the four players fouls out, the team must forfeit. If the fifth player shows up late for the game, then they can play immediately by entering the game at the next dead ball. Teams may pick up to one player to get to five players at game time.

1. Each team will be allowed two timeouts per half. Timeouts cannot be carried over to the next half. One Timeout will be allowed in an overtime contest.

There will be a 30- point rule in effect whereas, if any team is leading their opponent by 30 points at any time during the second half of the game, the game will then be called.

   2. VERBAL OR BEHAVIORAL- Where a player or coach verbally abuses or taunts an opposing player, coach, official, or spectator. Behavioral foul examples include: slamming the ball into the floor or kicking it in frustration after a play, kicking chairs or other items along the bench, or fighting. Depending on the severity of the verbal abuse or behavior, the game officials may disqualify the player/coach from the game after the first (1st) infraction.
   3. INTENTIONAL- Where a player commits a physical foul that is not a legitimate attempt to directly play the ball or player. (Examples are holding an opponent to stop play, pushing an opponent in the back to prevent a score when there is no chance, or committing an obvious hard foul on a player with no intention of playing the ball or player during a press to stop the clock.)

****All technical fouls are subject to a league fine. The first technical by a player or coach during a game will result in a

$25.00 fine and the player will have to sit out 5 game time minutes before re-entering the game. The second technical foul by the same player or coach in the same game will result in a $75.00 fine and an automatic one-game suspension for the next scheduled game. All fines will be paid to the League Representative the same day the technical fouls occur. ****

Substitutions

3. A Town assigned staff member or volunteer will open and close the gym, keep the scorebook, and run the clock. The Town Recreation Director has the final authority on decisions that may need to be made. Failure to comply with the decisions may result in forfeiture of a game or the team being dropped from the league/playoffs.
