Rules & Format:
This tournament will be played in a 3x3 format and will follow the same rules used by Wheelchair Basketball Canada for 3x3 games at Junior East & West Regional Championships (with a few minor exceptions):

• The game ball shall be an IWBF approved size 6.
  (Most coaches have agreed that a size 6 is more appropriate for this stage of development)
• 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.
• Two (2) seven (7) minute halves will be played, with a 2 minute intermission (stop time).
  • 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.
  • There shall be no back-court violation rule.
  • Unless otherwise stated, IWBF rules and regulations will be followed.
