If a team is up by 20 points then the clock will continue to run except during time-outs (clock will stop again on all whistles once the score is back under 10).  Teams cannot full court press when up by 20 points or more. 
Time-Outs
Each team is given (4) thirty second time-outs per game for regulation. Players are permitted to sit on the bench during time-outs. These time-outs do NOT carry over to overtime. Each time is awarded (1) thirty second time-out for each overtime period.

Teams must be ready to play at game time.  If a team is not present at game time, a 5 minute grace period will be given.  If the missing team has not shown up within that 5 minute grace period, the team present will be awarded a 15-0 forfeit win. Note: If a team is visible on site during the 5 minute grace, the game will be played in full ( ASC staff has the final say on this).
