RULE 5 / SCORING <strong>AND</strong> TIMING REGULATIONS67<br />
Section 3. Forfeit<br />
Art. 1. When a forfeit is declared (See Rule 4-28), the score shall be recorded as<br />
2-0 and all statistics (other than the teams’ and coaches’ won-lost records) shall<br />
be voided, unless 30 minutes of playing time has been completed on the game<br />
clock. In that case, the score at the end of play shall stand and all other statistics<br />
shall count.<br />
Art. 2. When the team that is behind in the scorebook is to be declared the<br />
winning team, that score shall be marked with an asterisk in the official statistics;<br />
and it shall be noted that the game was won by forfeit.<br />
Section 4. Interrupted Games<br />

responsible administrative authorities, it shall be continued from the point of<br />
interruption unless the teams agree otherwise or there are applicable conference,<br />
league or association rules.<br />
Section 5. Protests<br />

each with a halftime intermission of 15 minutes. Extra periods shall be five<br />
minutes each in length with a one-minute intermission before each.<br />
Note: For NCAA Division I tournament games, the length of the intermission for<br />
halftime may be increased by five minutes.<br />

expiration of time in any period. When the game clock is not visible, the<br />
officials shall verify the original call with the use of the red/LED light(s).<br />
