APPENDIX 2 - Euroleague Basketball

advertising boards opposite the main TV cameras, will be
optional.
The red LED lights installed in each backboard must be
synchronised with the main game clock in such a way that they
light up, and stay lit, brightly when each period or extra period
expires. The red LED lights must not light up when the 24-
second period expires.
The installation of these lights must be done in such a way that
it ensures the safety of players and referees.
43.3. Basket Support Structures
The backboards must be firmly fixed on basket support
structures on the floor at a right angle thereto and parallel to
the endlines.
The basket support structures (including the padding) will lie at
least 2,000mm from the exterior edge of the endline and must
be in a bright colour so that they are entirely visible for the
players.
The entire basket support structure that is behind the backboard
must be padded at the bottom from the surface of the
backboard to a distance of 1,200mm. The minimum thickness of
the padding will be 25mm.
The base of the basket support structure facing the playing area
will also be padded from the floor to a height of at least
2,150mm. The minimum thickness of the padding will be
100mm.
All padding will be constructed in such a way as to prevent limbs
from becoming trapped. It will have a maximum indentation
factor of 50%. This means that when a force is applied suddenly
to the padding, the indentation in the padding does not exceed
50% of its original thickness.
Under no circumstances may ceiling-mounted backboards be
used. Only floor-fixed or mobile backboard support structures
are permitted.
Once the backboard support structure has been adjusted, the
top edge of the ring must be at a height of 3,050mm.
