RULE 5<br />

Scoring and Timing<br />

Regulations<br />

Section 1. Scoring<br />

Art. 1. A goal from the field other than from beyond the three-point line shall<br />

count two points for the team into whose basket the ball is thrown, tapped or<br />

directed.<br />

Art. 2. A successful try from beyond the three-point line shall count three points<br />

for the team when the ball is thrown or directed into its basket.<br />

a. When a player scores a field goal in the opponent’s basket, it shall count<br />

two points for the opponent regardless of the location on the playing court<br />

from where it was released. Such a field goal shall not be credited to a<br />

player in the scorebook but shall be indicated with a footnote.<br />

Art. 3. When the official(s) permits a team to go in the wrong direction, and when<br />

the error is discovered, all activity and time consumed shall count as though each<br />

team had gone in the proper direction. Play shall be resumed with each team<br />

going in the proper direction.<br />

Art. 4. Whether the game clock is running shall have no bearing on the counting<br />

of a goal.<br />

Art. 5. When there is doubt whether a score was made within the shot-clock<br />

period or whether a try for goal contacted the ring or flange, any activity before<br />

the next live ball shall be canceled, with the exception of any flagrant or technical<br />

foul and the correct time shall be added to the game clock.<br />

Art. 6. A goal from a free throw shall be credited to the free-thrower and shall<br />

count one point for the free-thrower’s team.<br />

Art. 7. (Women) When a player-control foul occurs after a goal, the goal shall<br />

be canceled.<br />

Art. 8. The only infractions for which points are awarded are goaltending or<br />

basket interference by the defensive team.<br />

Art. 9. In any period, when the game clock displays 10ths of seconds and play<br />

is to be resumed by a throw-in or a free throw when 3/10 (.3) of a second or less<br />

remains on the game clock, a player may not gain possession of the ball and try<br />

for a field goal. Such player can only score a field goal by means of a tap of the<br />

pass or of a missed free throw.<br />

Section 2. Winning Team<br />

The winning team shall be the team that has accumulated the greater number of<br />

points when the game ends, except in Rule 5-3.2.<br />
