Basketball All-Star Game Plan

 

 

The basketball game will consist of two 18-minute halves.  In the first half the clock will stop at 12 minutes and again at six minutes for substitutions.  In the second half the clock will stop at 14 minutes, 10 minutes and 6 minutes.

 

The following format will be used.  A playing system of four players with one spot used for free substitutions:

 

 

GROUP 1

GROUP 2

GROUP 3

A.

E.

I.

The coaches will need to declare before the game and at half-time the three groups of player distinctions.

 

FIRST HALF

Playing time will be divided into three 6-minute sessions.  Group 1 will play the first six minutes, Group 2 the second six minutes and Group 3 the last six minutes.

The fifth player of each session will be selected from the two groups not playing at the time.  The free player may be substituted during a 6-minute period.

 

 

SECOND HALF
The same format will be followed in the second half, but using three 4-minute  sessions.  The last 6 minutes of the second half will be free substitution.

The assistant scorekeeper and the team monitors will need a list of the playing groups so they can monitor the substitutions being made.

 

IN CASE OF INJURY OR ILLNESS, one player from the groups may play in two of the sessions, or she may be substituted for during the half.
