• The game ball shall be an IWBF approved size 7.
• A shot clock of 24 seconds will be used.
• The game may be officiated by one or two referees. Note: Wheelchair Basketball Canada recommends two referees as a development opportunity for a new referee to work with a veteran official in alignment with the Long Term Officials Development Model.

  • Each team will be entitled to 1 time out during the first half and 2 time outs in the second half with a maximum of 1 of these time outs in the last minute of the second half (during stoppage in play).
  • Each team will be entitled to 1 time out per extra period if extra periods are needed.
• A player who has committed 4 fouls will be disqualified from the game.
  • A team is in a team foul situation when it has committed 4 fouls in one half.
    • When a team is in the team foul penalty situation, all subsequent player personal fouls committed on a player not in the act of shooting shall be penalized by 2 free throws, instead of a throw-in.
• There shall be no 8 second violation rule.

• Unless otherwise stated, IWBF rules and regulations will be followed.
