Baskets
44.1. Rings
The baskets must fulfil the following requirements:
The rings, which will be of pressure-release type, must comply
with the technical conditions and specifications established by
FIBA. The rings will be installed in such a way that no force
applied to the ring will be transferred to the backboard.
Therefore there will be no direct contact between the ring
mounting plate and the backboard.
The rings must be of solid steel, with an inside diameter of a
minimum of 450mm and a maximum of 459mm, painted
orange.
The metal of the rings will have a minimum width of 16mm and
a maximum width of 20mm.
When the pressure-release mechanism is activated by an
applied force, the ring will not lower more than 30º below the
original horizontal position.
When the force above is no longer applied, the ring will return
automatically and instantly to the original position.
The arena must have at least two spare rings for replacement in
case of damage.
