NBL SPECIAL RULES

 1.        HAVE FUN RULE.  All players, coaches, referees, and other participants are required to have fun and help others do the same.
 
 2.        SHARE THE SHOTS RULE. No player is allowed to attempt more than two consecutive shots.  This applies even if the ball changes possession. If a player is fouled and shoots free throws, the free throws do not count as an additional attempt.

 3.        EMERGING STAR RULE. The only player who is allowed to defend (i.e. steal the ball off the dribble from, intercept a pass from, or block the shot of) an emerging star is another emerging star.  Emerging stars are marked with an * asterisk (*) on the roster.  A blocked shot will be counted as a made basket.  A steal or interception will be whistled and the ball returned to the team that had possession.

 4.        TEN POINT LEAD RULE.  If a team gets a 10 point lead they can only defend the other team inside the free throw lane.  When the team with a 10 point lead is on offense they can only shoot the ball from outside the free throw lane.  The 10 Point Lead Rule remains in effect for the remainder of the quarter unless the team that was behind ties the score or takes the lead.  If a team has a 10 point lead at the beginning of a quarter, the 10 point rule will be in effect to begin the quarter. The 10 point rule also goes off for the final 2 minutes of the game no matter what the score is.

 5.        FREE THROW GRACE RULE. Players who cannot shoot from the 15 foot will be allowed to shoot from the 10 foot line. 

 6.        NO, NO RULES. (a) No full court pressing is allowed.  The offensive team must cross the center line before being defended.  (b)  No intentional stalling is  allowed.  A team that stalls will be warned first. If they continue to stall the ball, possession will be awarded to the other team.  (c)  No players will foul out.  (d)  No intentional fouls are allowed.  The player fouled intentionally will be awarded a basket.  (e)  There will be no jump balls.  The home team will have 1st possession.  From there on possession will alternate.

 7.        SUBSTITUTIONSEach player should be allowed to play basically an equal amount of time (i.e. one player is not allowed to play all four quarters while another only gets to play two). Substitutions can only be made between quarters or at the halfway point in the quarter. Opposing coaches should mutually agree prior to the game to rest their strongest players the same quarter.

 8.        MEMORY VERSE AND TEAM CHEERS.  Each team will recite their memory verse as a team prior to each game citing the reference, quoting the verse, then citing the reference again.  They may also develop a team cheer or slogan if they so choose.

 9.        RESPECT.  Each player, coach, parent, & fan is expected to show respect for the referrees, league officials, & the building.

NOTE:
If you don't like these rules, no problem. There are reasons behind every one of these rules, we think good reasons, that are consistent with our goals & purposes. If you think otherwise, maybe this is not the league for you or your children.
