Other Local Playing Regulations
Free Throws
The free throw regulations were changed at the beginning of 2024.
The current regulation is that players in U8, U10, U12 comps shoot from the blue line marked in the key.
Players in all other comps will shoot from the regular (white) foul line.
Man-on-Man and Zone Defence
Current BDABA competition by-laws state that only players in U16s and above can play zone defense.
All other grades must play man-to-man.
We have heard from coaches that they’d like younger grades to be able to play zone, and so this will be reviewed by the committee. But the regulation as written above stands for the moment.
If a referee suspects zone defense is being played in grades below U16s, a warning will be issued, followed by technical foul on the coach if it persists.
Individual player Points Cap:
Under 8’s – 10 points
Under 10 Boys and Under 10 Girls – 15 Points
Under 12 Girls and Under 12B – 15 Points
Under 12A – Points cap has been removed.
Scoring caps will continue, this was brought in by the committee to encourage teamwork.
The rule is enforced by parent scorers not the referees, if a player is getting near their point cap, please let their coach know.
If a player reaches their max points and makes another basket, please sound the siren to let the referee know. No score will be added.
If a player is on 1 point less than their max points and makes a basket, the score will be added. No further points count.
