Basketball 2023 Summer Comp (2nd Comp)
Just a few things to keep in mind from Tamworth Basketball:
- No Zone Defence is to be played in the Primary Competition.
- Teams who attain a 30-point lead during a game must retire to halfway after scoring further goals. Teams who attain a 50-point lead during a game must retire to their 3-point line in their half after scoring further goals. (All Game Rules can be found on each score bench for further details).
- If a player is missing from the team list on the tablet, please don’t add them. Please let the Court Supervisors know so that the issue can be resolved.
- Each team is to provide one person for scoring. This is an easy job and Court Supervisors and Referees are more than happy to help with learning the ropes. We have also provided information sheets on all benches to help with the operating of the clocks and tablets.
