- No Free throws
1 defensive foul = 1 point to the opponents' team, the opponent's ball from the sideline.
1 defensive foul whilst in the act of shooting = 2/3 points to opponent's team, the defensive ball from the baseline. i.e same as if shooter had made a shot.
A made shot is an extra point. For example, if an offensive player is fouled while shooting a three-pointer and the shot goes in, their team will gain 4 points.
Any defence allowed
No shot clock violation
For semi and finals if a match is drawn, then extra time will run a golden point period - the first point wins the game..i.e foul/goal.
