EM3v3 Rules

🧠 Elite Mindset 3v3 Summer League ✅ Official Rules for Coaches Teams: 3 players on the court, with up to 2 sub allowed per game. Ball Size: Official 3x3 (Size 5, 6 & 7). Court: Half-court, single basket. 🕒 Game Time & Winning Conditions Games are played to 30 points or 10 minutes (running clock). Scoring: Inside arc = 2 points Outside arc = 3 points Free throws = 1 shot, worth 2 or 3 points based on foul location If tied after 10 minutes, it’s sudden death: first team to score wins. 🔁 Possession Rules Coin toss decides first possession. After made baskets: defensive team gets the ball (no check needed). Ball must be cleared behind the arc after: Rebounds Steals Blocks Check the ball up top after: Fouls Out-of-bounds Jump balls (defense gets possession) ⚠️ Fouls Team fouls 1–5: Result in change of possession. Team fouls 6–8: 1 free throw (worth 2 or 3 pts). Team fouls 9+: 2 free throws, regardless of situation. No individual fouling out, but unsportsmanlike conduct = disqualification. 🔄 Substitutions Can only be made during a dead ball before a check-in. Sub must enter from the sideline (coach’s box recommended). ⏱️ Timeouts 1 timeout per team per game (20 seconds). The clock continues running during timeout. No timeouts in the last 3min or overtime (sudden death). 🔑 Coach Reminders Emphasize clearing the ball on change of possession. Sub smartly — there's only one timeout and limited clock. Teach your players defensive discipline to avoid giving up easy free throws late. Be ready for sudden death situations — no second chances.
