NBA In The Zone Rules

This game is based on real NBA rules.

Game Length

There are four quarters in the game, and the team with the highest overall score at the end of the game wins. The game goes into overtime if there is no winner at the end of four quarters. Overtime periods continue until there is a winner.

Shooting

There are two basic kinds of shots: 3 point shots and 2 point shots.

•

3 point shots: Shots from behind the 3 point line (score 3 points).

•

2 point shots: Shots from inside the 3 point line (score 2 points).

Out of Bounds

Out of bounds occurs when the ball goes outside the end line or side line. The opposing team is then granted a throw in, and the game continues from where the ball is thrown in.

Violations

If the offensive team doesn't shoot within 24 seconds after gaining possession of the ball, it is counted as a shot clock violation. The defensive team then gains possession of the ball.
