Rules: 3 on 3

• The game is played on half of a FIBA regulation court, with one basket.
• A jump ball is not used to start the game. Instead, immediately before the game, a player from the first-named team attempts a free throw. If made, the shooter's team will have first possession. Subsequent jump ball situations are governed by the alternating possession rule.
• Instead of the three officials used in full-court basketball, two officials are used, plus a scorer, a timer, and a shot clock operator.
• The game is of 14 minutes (running clock), centrally timed. Should there be a tie, the game will continue until a score is made.
• There is no shot clock.
• The first person on the offensive team to possess the ball outside the three-point arc must pass the ball to a teammate before a shot can be taken.
• If the defense gains possession of the ball within the two-point area, either by a steal or rebound, the team must first move the ball behind the three-point arc and then pass the ball before being allowed to take a shot.
• Throw-ins take place at a point on the sidelines level with the top of the three-point arc. The thrower may pass to a teammate anywhere on the court. The receiver is not allowed to shoot regardless of his or her location. If in the three-point area, the receiver must pass to a teammate. If in the two-point area, the ball must be dribbled or passed outside the area; once outside the area, the player in possession must pass before the team can attempt a shot.
• No timeouts are allowed at any time. (The officials may still stop the game in case of player injury or other dangerous situation, as in the standard FIBA rules).
• A player who has committed 5 fouls is disqualified, as in a full-length fullcourt game.
• A team is in a penalty foul situation on its 7th foul in a game. Subsequent non-shooting defensive fouls by that team result in two free throws.

Tournament Organisation: 3x3

• The teams are initially in two groups of 5 teams, X and Y.
• The teams placed 1-3 in each group will play off for places 1-6. They will carry forward their results against the other teams placed 1-3 in their group into the final league table.
• The teams placed 4-5 in each group will play off for places 7-10. They will carry forward their results against the other teams placed 4-5 in their group into the final league table.
