A game shall be decided by scoring of the greater
number of points during the playing time. A goal is made when a live ball enters
the basket from above and remain in or passes through. A goal from the field
counts 2 points unless attempted from the three point field goal area when it
counts 3 points, a goal from a free throw counts 1 point. A goal from the field
counts for the team attacking the basket into which the ball is thrown.
If a score is a tie at the expiration of the second half, play shall be continued
for an extra period of 5 minutes or as many such periods of 5 minutes as may
be necessary to break the tie. Before the first extra period the team shall
toss for baskets and shall change baskets at the beginning of each additional
extra period. At the beginning of each extra period, the ball shall be put in
play at the center circle.
The
game shall terminate at the sounding of the timekeeper's signal indicating the
end of playing time. When a foul is committed simultaneously with or just previous
to the timekeeper's signal ending a half or an extra period, any eventual free
throw or throws, as a result of the foul be taken.
