Court:
Court length: 28m
Court width: 15m

Scoring: A basket made during normal play, a field goal, is worth two points. A shot from behind the 6.25m arc is worth three. When a foul is committed, foul shots (free throws), may be awarded. These are taken from the free throw or foul line 4.6m from the basket and are worth one point.

Time: Four quarters of ten minutes play, with a two minute gap in between the 1st and 2nd, and 3rd and 4th quarters and a 15 minute gap at half-time. The clock stops whenever the referee blows his whistle and is re-started when the ball is touched by a player on court.

Teams: Each side has up to ten players on their team. Any five can be on court at any time. A coach can make substitutions as often as he likes, but must wait for an appropriate stoppage in play.
Fouls: Basketball is theoretically a non-contact sport. Therefore the referee will call a foul against any player who makes unnecessary contact. Deliberate contact is penalised more severely with an unsportsmanlike foul and unsporting behaviour by players or coaches can be punished with a technical foul.

Five Fouls: Each player can only commit five fouls during the course of the game. Upon receiving his fifth foul a player has 'fouled out' and must leave the game. A substitute can take his place.

Free throws: The free throw is awarded if a player is fouled in the act of shooting, a team has committed five or more fouls in the quarter, or a technical or unsportsmanlike foul has been committed. A player is awarded two free throws unless:
a) he made the shot, in which case he receives the points for his basket and gets one bonus free throw.
b) the player was shooting a 3 point shot in which case he will be awarded three free throws.
c) a technical foul was called against a player, in which case one free throw and possession from the halfway line is awarded.

Violations: Other rule infractions are called violations. These are punished with the possession being passed to the other team, either at the side or end line. Violations include:
a) Running with the ball and not dribbling (travelling/walking)
b) Dribbling with two hands or stopping dribbling and then recommencing (double dribble)
c) Kicking the ball (football)
d) Punching the ball
e) Taking the ball back into your defending half after you have already had the ball in your opponents half (backcourt/front to rear)

Other violations are time related. These include:
a) Eight second violation (failing to get the ball into your opponents' half within eight seconds of gaining control)
b) Five second violation (failing to inbound the ball or pass after finishing a dribble within five seconds)
c) Three second violation (standing in the painted area (zone/key) underneath the basket you are attacking for more than three seconds)
d) 24 second violation (a team failing to shoot within 24 seconds of gaining control of the ball)
