NCAA Basketball rules with these AIT modifications & the AIT General Rules will govern play.
1.TEAM SHIRTS - with numbers - ARE REQUIRED
!!!
Shirts must be the same color
with a clearly visible number (1 or 2 digits) on the back.
2.GAME TIME is FORFEITURE TIME. No grace period.
3.ONE FORFEIT and your team will be DROPPED
from the competition. Teams will also be dropped after
two DEFAULTS.
FORFEIT:
if NO players are at the court by game time
DEFAULT:
if a team does not have the minimum number of players at game time.
4.The GAME will consist of two 15-minute
halves, with up to 5 minutes rest between halves. Teams must have
five
players on the court
to start and at least 4 players to continue a game. Playoffs will
consist of 15min halves.
5.The CLOCK will NOT be stopped for foul
shots, held-balls, out-of-bounds, etc.
The timer will stop the watch
the last 2 min of the game each time the ball is out-of-play.
Throughout the game, teams
must line up promptly for foul shots. Officials will penalize teams that
attempt to consume
time by using obvious stalling
tactics in these situations. The official may stop the clock and charge
the offending team
with a technical foul for
such tactics.
6.TIMEOUTS: Each team may call one (1)
timeout each half and in each overtime period. Timeouts will not
carry over which means
that if you do not use the timeout in the first half you will still only
have one timeout in
the second half. Additional
timeouts will not be granted (technical foul). Only players in the game
and on the team in
possession of the ball
may call timeouts, not coaches or substitutes on the sidelines. During
a dead ball any offensive or
defensive player in
the game may call a timeout.
7.TIE GAMES: In overtimes there will
be a 5 min OT. If the score remains tied at the end of this period, a
second extra period
will be started. Timing procedure for the last 2 min of the overtime period
will be the same as the
end of the second half.
8.FOUL SHOTS: will be taken when the foul
is committed against a player in the act of shooting or on a technical
foul.
For all other fouls,
the ball will be taken out-of-bounds and the player committing the foul
will be charged with a
personal. Exception:
In the last 2 minutes of the second half and in subsequent overtime periods,
all fouls excluding
player control fouls
will be shot. During these times all non-shooting fouls are to be 1 and
1.
9.SUBSTITUTIONS: may be made anytime the
ball is out-of-play. Substitutes must wait for the official to call them
into
the game with the two
official system. Substitutes must get an official's attention and wait
for a dead ball to be called
in. A technical foul
will be charged to the team for failure to abide by this rule.
10.JUMP BALL: will be used to start each
game and overtime. In all held-ball situations teams will alternate taking
the
ball out of bounds at
the spot nearest to where the situation occurs. All held balls will be
determined by the possession
arrow.
11.THREE POINT RULE: will be in effect wherever
and whenever possible. If through whatever circumstance, games
are played on
courts without the 3-point arc, all shots are worth 2 points (except free
throws - 1 pt).
12.DUNKING: is permitted DURING an A.I.T.
basketball game. However, participants are NOT permitted to

of division. Violation will result in suspension of the player and forfeiture

game/s in questions.
17.NO FIGHTING! Technical fouls will be enforces for game misconduct. If a player fights he is out of the game until the tournament reaches an end. If the same team has a fight involving a different player the TEAM will be disqualified from our tournament. This is a friendly competition, fighting will not be tolerated.
18.ALL players must be at least 50% Asian
decent, this is not to discriminate against race, but to ensure fair play.
This also allows the elimination of "ringers."
No professional athletes, such as school basketball team members. If you
judge that someone will be questioned, please bring it to our attention so that
we can take proper precautions to ensure that he will play. It is not the
administrations fault if someone is questioned just before game time and he can
not play. If you think your teammates eligibility will be questioned let
us know. By the way, this tournament will include east-Asian players. We
will try our best to create a fair playing field, however talent is GOD given.
Any of these policies or rules, at the discretion
of the AIT staff, are subject to change.
FORMAT
There
will be maximum of 18 Teams broken into 3 divisions containing 6 teams.
