Season - Free Agents

Free Agents Placement Format

1. Any walk-in players will be considered Free Agents.

2. Any fixed team(s) short of core drafted players, will pick up add-on players from the Free Agent pool. Each team should have at least 5 players each night.

3. If all fixed teams have enough of core drafted players, any extra Free Agents would be added to the team(s) as subs by wheel spinning. Each team handles on its own rotation.

Note - Any new friends or players participated with stats in Season 4 but not being drafted will be automatically entered to Free Agents Pool for potential selection.

Season - Game Rules

1. 10 minutes game with 24 seconds shot clock.

2. Shot clock reset to full 24 seconds when ball hit the rim.

3. Pause shot clock when player calls foul with no reset if shot clock >14 seconds. If foul happened <14 seconds, then reset shot clock to 14 seconds.

4. Pause game clock at dead ball when game clock at final 1 minute. Or else, keep running game clock.

5. When score is tied, offensive team with final possession has option to dribble out (i.e. no need to take the final shot). If dribbled out, offensive team should shoot for ball (i.e. made basket then keep possession, missed shot then defensive team gets possession to start overtime).

6. Overtime - first team scores a basket win the overtime match.

7. NEW: In-game substitution option (i.e. each team decides on their own 5 players for game, but with option to sub in-n-out during dead ball).
