FREE THROWS
The shooter takes up a position behind the free throw line (front wheels may be over the line). He/she must take the shot within 5 seconds. Other players (2 attackers, 3 defenders) may take up positions on the key markings around the restricted area. No other player may touch the ball until it touches the ring.
RESTRICTED AREA
A player is forbidden to remain longer than 3 seconds in the opponents restricted area when his/her team has possession of the ball.
Penalty: throw in to opposing team.
5-SECOND RULE
A violation shall be called when a closely guarded player who is holding the ball does not pass, shoot or dribble the ball within 5 seconds.
Penalty: throw-in to opposing team, from the side line at a point adjacent to where the ball is touched by the defender.
BALL RETURNED TO BACK COURT
A player whose team is in control of the ball in the front court may not cause the ball to go into his/her back court
Penalty: throw-in to opposing team, from the side line at a point adjacent to where the ball is touched by the defender.
JUMP BALL
A jump ball starts each half. The referee tosses the ball vertically upwards between 2 opponents at the centre circle. The ball shall be tapped (not caught) by one or both of the opponents, only after it reaches its highest point. All other players shall remain outside the circle until the ball has been touched.
ALTERNATING POSSESSION
A jump ball starts each half as said in paragraph above. The team gaining possession from the jump-ball will be deemed to have first possession. The table official has a directional arrow on the table which they will point in direction of play of team not gaining first possession. In the event of a jump-ball situation the referee, after blowing the whistle, will check the directional arrow on the table and award possession in favour of the team indicated. After the ball is in play again, the table official will reverse the direction of the arrow, in readiness for any further jump-ball incident.
OUT OF BOUNDS
The ball is out of bounds when:
· it touches the floor or any person or object situated outside the court or ON the boundary lines.
· it touches a player who is himself outside the court or on the boundary lines.
· it touches the support or the back of the backboard.
· To cause the ball to go out of bounds is a violation and is penalised by awarding the ball to the opponents for a throw-in.
