• The game clock stops only for time-outs and major interferences.

Fouls and Technical Fouls:

• After the referee calls a foul, a player from the team with possession passes the ball from an out-of-bounds position. The referee decides the position.

• And-1 means: when the ball is scored during a foul that the referee calls out. The referee decides if the point/And-1 counts.

• If you score an And-1, possession goes to the opposite team and the foul is registered. If you don't score the And-1, offense keeps possession and the foul is registered.
