V. GUIDELINES
A. MAJOR GAMES
BASKETBALL MEN & WOMEN The Basics A basketball team is comprised of 5 players during a game, but can have a maximum of 15 players (15 for men and 15 for women). The aim of the game is to put the ball in the opposing team's basket. Players can pass the ball to each other and can move around any part of the court. They can also move with the ball by 'dribbling;' that is, by bouncing the ball at knee height whilst standing still or travelling. The game is divided into four 10-minute periods known as 'quarters.' The team which has the most points by the end of the game wins. The Team A team member is eligible to play when he has been authorized to play for a team according to the regulations, including regulations governing age limits, of the organizing body of the competition. A team member is entitled to play when his name has been entered on the score sheet before the start of the game and as long as he has neither been disqualified nor committed five (5) fouls. Scoring The number of points awarded for successfully throwing the ball into the opposing team's basket depends upon where the player was standing when they threw the ball: if they were outside the 3-point line, their team will be awarded 3 points; if they were standing inside it, their team will be awarded 2 points. When a player is awarded with the opportunity to take an unguarded shot at the basket from the 'free throw' line as compensation for a technical or personal foul, a successful attempt will be rewarded with 1 point. Fouls A personal foul is some form of illegal body contact. If a player commits a personal foul, the opposing team will be awarded by a free throw or possession of the ball by the referee. A game official can also charge a player, coach or any other member of a team with a technical foul as punishment for unsportsmanlike or inappropriate behavior. The following moves are considered to constitute illegal body contact and will result in a penalty for a personal foul: - Charging - When a player is moving with the ball and runs directly into a player who is attempting to guard them, the offending player will be penalized for 'charging.' - Illegal guarding - Aggressively bumping into an opponent from behind them. - Illegal screening - This is attempting to slow down a member of the opposing team who is not in current possession of the ball. - Illegal checking - This is bodily contact made with a player who is attempting to release the ball by passing to a team-mate or making an attempt at the basket. - Hand checking - This is defined as deliberately trying to slow down an opponent by grabbing at them. - Blocking - It is illegal to create an obstacle, or 'block' a player who is dribbling the ball (unless the player defending has adopted a legal guarding stance). - Holding - Holding is making bodily contact with a member of the opposing team to 15

somehow prevent them from moving.

Violations and Their Penalties Free throws - Free throws are usually awarded in the following situations: - When a player has been fouled during a shooting attempt. The player is compensated for a missed opportunity to score by either two or three free throws (depending upon whether they were standing in front of, or behind, the free throw line when the foul was committed). - When a team is in the position of being punished by a team foul. This occurs when a team has committed more than four fouls in one period. Two free throws are awarded. - When a player, coach or other team member demonstrates unsportsmanlike behaviour they receive a technical foul. If the offence is committed by a player on the court, the opposing team receives two free throws. Free throws must be executed with respect for the following rules: - The player awarded with the free throw must stand behind the free throw line and make an attempt at the basket within 10 seconds. - Players are not permitted to touch the ball or basket while the ball is on or within the basket. - Players who occupy a free throw line space are not permitted to touch the floor on or across the free throw line. Players who don't occupy a free throw line space must remain behind the 3 point line until the ball leaves the shooter's hands. - The shooter is not permitted to cross the free throw line until the ball touches the basket or backboard, or until the free throw ends. - Players are not permitted to attempt to block the ball before it reaches the basket. - The shooter is not permitted to fake an attempt at the goal. - Opponents are not permitted to attempt to distract the free throw shooter. If the team which has been awarded the free throw violates the rules, a point will not be awarded and possession will be awarded to the opposing team. If the opposing team violates these rules, no action is taken if the shooter is successful; if he/she is not, a point will be awarded and another free throw will be awarded in addition. If both teams violate the rules, the ball becomes dead and possession is decided by a jump throw between any two players in the centre circle. Out of bounds If a player causes the ball to go out of bounds the ball is awarded to the opposing team at the boundary line, as near as possible to where the violation took place. The only exception is when the ball goes out of bounds following a throw-in, when the ball is not touched by a player from either team. In this case, the throw-in takes place again at the original spot. Dribble - The following rules apply to dribbling: - A player is not allowed to move with the ball if he/she is not dribbling it. (exception for women; dribbling is allowed every 5 steps) - If a player steps on or outside a boundary line, they are out-of-bounds, even if the ball itself remained inbounds. - A player is not permitted to dribble for a second time if he voluntarily ends his first dribble. He/she will be permitted to dribble again if he/she lost control of the ball due to: 16

an attempt at the basket, on the condition that the ball touched the ring or the backboard; an opponent touching the ball; or, a pass or fumble which involved the ball being touched by another player. If these rules are violated, possession is awarded to the opposing team at the sideline, as close as possible to the place of violation, but no nearer to the base-line than the foul-line. Throwing-in - The following rules apply to throwing in: - The thrower-in must not carry the ball onto the court. - The thrower-in must release the ball within 5 seconds. - The thrower-in cannot leave the spot designated as the throwing-in sport by a game official. - The thrower-in cannot make an attempt at the basket from the throwing-in spot, before the ball has been touched by anyone on the court. - The thrower-in cannot step over the boundary line while throwing the ball back onto the court. - The thrower-in cannot cause the ball to go out of bounds again without being touched by anyone on the court. - The thrower-in cannot simply hand the ball to a player on the court. If these rules are violated, the opposing team will be awarded possession at the spot of the original throw-in. Striking the ball - Players are not permitted to strike the ball with their fist or to kick the ball. - Kicking or striking the ball intentionally is a violation; doing so accidentally does not constitute a violation. If these rules are violated by the offense, possession will be awarded to the opposing team at the sideline as close as possible to the site of the violation. If the violation is committed by the defense, the offensive team maintains possession. If the violation occurs during a throw-in, the opposing team is awarded possession at the site of the throw-in. Jump ball - Players are constrained by the following rules whilst participating in jump throws: - Each participating player must have at least one foot on or inside of the half of the jumping circle furthest away from his/her team's basket. - The ball must be tapped by one or both players when the ball reaches its highest point. If neither of the participating players manages to touch the ball before it falls, another toss will take place. - The participating players are not permitted to touch the ball before it reaches its highest point. - Neither of the participating players can leave the jumping circle until the ball has been tapped. - Participating players are not permitted to tap the ball twice. - Neither of the participating players can catch the ball until it has touched the floor, the basket, the backboard, or one of the other eight players on the court. - The eight players who are not participating in the jump ball must remain outside of the restraining circle until the ball has been tapped. - During a jump ball, a personal foul committed is called a "loose ball" foul. The game clock and 24 second clock should not be restarted until the ball has been legally tapped. If these rules are violated, the opposing team will be awarded possession at the sideline. If both 17

teams violate the rules, or, if the game official determines that he has made an unfair toss, it will be repeated. The offensive 3 second rule This rule states that an offensive player is not permitted to remain in his part of the free-throw lane between the end-line and the area extending 4 feet past the end-line and the furthest edge of the free throw line while the ball is in his/her team's possession for more than three seconds. If the player is in the act of shooting as the third second ends, allowances are made. If the ball subsequently misses the basket, the three second count will be continued. If this rule is violated, the opposing team will be awarded possession at the sideline. The defensive 3 second rule The regulations relating to the defensive 3 second rule are as follows: - The count begins when the offensive team acquires possession of the ball in the frontcourt. - A defensive player positioned in the 16 foot lane or the area extending 4 feet past the lane end-line must be actively guarding an opponent (i.e. be within an arm's length and in a legal guarding stance) within 3 seconds. - Any defensive player can guard any offensive player. The defenders can also double team any player. - The count is suspended when: there is a field goal attempt; a team loses control; a defender is actively guarding an opponent; or, when the defender clears the 16ft line. - If the defender is guarding a player with the ball, he is allowed to be in the 16ft lane. If another player is actively guarding the player with the ball, the original defender must either actively guard a player or exit the lane. If these rules are violated, a technical foul will be considered and the offensive team takes possession at the free throw line. The 8-second-Rule A team cannot be in continuous possession of a ball in its back-court for more than 8 continuous seconds. This count will be restarted if a defender kicks or punches the ball, or commits a technical foul. Violation results in possession being awarded to the opposing team at the midcourt line. The 5-second back-to-the-basket violation An offensive player in his own front-court cannot dribble with his back or his side facing the basket for more than 5 seconds. The count finishes when the player picks up the ball, when he/she dribbles above the free throw line or when a defensive player intercepts the ball. Violation will result in possession being awarded to the opposing team on the side-line at the level of the free throw line. Ball in Back-court A player cannot be the first to touch a ball that he or another player on his team caused to go from front-court to back-court while their team was in control of the ball. The exceptions are occasions when neither team was in control of the ball, including during a jump ball, a field goal attempt or a rebound. Swinging of elbows Players are forbidden from vigorously swinging their elbows in the direction of an offensive 18

player in possession of the ball, even if there is no contact between the players. If this rule is violated, possession is awarded to the opposing team at the side-line. Entering the basket from below Players cannot cause the ball to enter the basket from below. Violation will result in possession being awarded to the opposing team at the side-line. Illegal assist in scoring Players cannot hang onto the ring or backboard to assist themselves in scoring. Players are also not permitted to 'boost' their teammates to afford them an advantage in shooting. Violation will result in possession being awarded to the opposing team at the free-throw line. Travelling The rules regarding travelling are as follows: - A player who catches the ball while standing still can pivot (on either foot) - A player who catches the ball while he is moving can use a "two-count rhythm" when passing, or shooting the ball - The first count occurs as a player receives the ball, if he/she has either foot on the floor as he/she receives the ball; or, as one foot touches the ball or as both feet touch the floor simultaneously as he receives the ball. - The second count occurs after the first count when either foot touches the floor, or when both feet touch the floor simultaneously. - A player who comes to a stop on the count of one is permitted to pivot on either foot - If a player comes to a stop on the count of two as he/she catches the ball, only the rear foot can be used to pivot. - If a player comes to a stop on the count of two, and lands with neither foot in front of the other, he/she can use either foot to pivot. - If a player is in possession of the ball and chooses to raise the pivot foot, he or she must pass or shoot before returning the pivot foot to the floor. - If a player chooses to dribble after receiving the ball whilst standing still, the ball must leave the player's hand before the pivot foot can be raised. Dead, Live And Alive Balls When a ball is not in the legal control of either team, it is said to be 'dead.' It is put back into play by a jump ball, a throw-in or free throw, depending upon the circumstances. The ball is said to be live when it is handed to the thrower-in, free throw shooter or, in the case of a jump ball, to the game official. It is said to be alive when it is released by the free throw shooter or thrower-in, or when it is tossed by the game official in a jump throw.

B. MINOR GAMES
SCRABBLE The International rules of individual scrabble competitions that include the standard rules are adapted here with some revisions & simplifications. General Rule: Scrabble is played one-on-one whether in individual or team competitions. No coaching & no notes are allowed during the games. Game Preparations: All 100 tiles checked for correctness of letter distributions. All tiles are then put inside a small bag (preferably a dark cloth/pouch) ready for the game. Rules in Tournament Play: Starting the Game The player who will play first shall be known as the First player & the opponent as the Second player. The standard procedure of starting the game is to draw the nearest alphabet to determine who has the right to play first. However, when a tournament system is used (Round Robin, Swiss System, or King-of the-Hill) it is not necessary to draw the nearest alphabet to determine the first player. The tournament pairing system itself will determine the right of the first play. First team competitions, the right of the first play shall be alternating from board one up to the last board. During the Game Drawing of Tiles: When tiles are drawn from the bag, the bag shall be held at the players eye or shoulder level. The tiles are drawn one at a time. Completion of Turn (The first to procedures below must be in order) a. Position the tiles on the board to form a word or words. b. Count & announce the scores of the play to the opponent. c. Press the time clock. (See 4.iii for the time allocation per player. d. Record the score on the score sheet. As both players are using a score sheet, the opponent shall also record the score on his/her score sheet. e. Replenish the score Challenge: Challenge is to contest the acceptability or legality of the word(s). . When is the right time to Challenge a word(s)? i. If the game is using a time clock, the opponent can challenge the word or all words just played, immediately after the player presses the clock. ii. If the player forgets to press the time clock or if the game is not using a time clock, the opponent can challenge the word(s) after the player draws even one tile from the bag to replenish the tile(s) just played.

42

NOTE: Except for the above cases, all challenges are deemed as premature challenges. Hence, on premature challenges, a player can still change his/her play and the positioning of the tiles on the board. b. How to challenge the word(s)? i. The opponent must announce by saying challenge or hold it to the player and at the same time put the time clock in a neutral position. ii. With or without time clocks, the opponent must then call the arbiters attention. (If the player has drawn at least one tile from the bag, the tile must be placed back inside the bag or place on the table with its face turned upside down.) 2. The opponent, then, declares to the arbiter the word(s) intended to be challenged. If the opponent challenges more than one word, he/she must declare simultaneously at the same time all the words to be challenged. If the arbiter has already verified the word(s) being challenged, no word challenge is entertained on that particular play in addition to the already declared challenged word(s). By practice, all the word challenges are written on a slip of paper provided by the organizer. NOTE: The arbiter, after dictionary verification, will only have to say acceptable or not acceptable. The arbiter is prohibited from citing what word is acceptable in case more than one word is being challenged. a. Penalties on challenges. If the play is acceptable, there shall be no penalty on both sides. If the play is not acceptable, the player who played the word(s) loses that turn and the score for that play is zero. The player shall, then, take back the tiles he/she played and the game proceeds with the opponents turn of play.

NOTE: Any of the player has the right to ask the arbiter for a second opinion and recheck the dictionary before the next turn commences with the clock, if used, still in a neutral position. End of the Game All the 100 tiles are played out. The game is ended automatically when a player has played all his/her remaining tiles on the rack and there are no more tiles left in the bag. a. The sum of the values of the unplayed tiles are subtracted from the opponents score and added to the player who played all his/her tiles. b. If the games use a time clock, the point penalties against any time elapse shall be deducted against but not added to any player to arrive at the final scores. It is possible for a player to still win the game even if it is his/her time that elapses.

Three successive passes by both players (or a total of six consecutive phases). Passes shall include change tiles, successful challenges and voluntary passing. A successful challenge is when a word is verified as not acceptable while voluntary passing is the option to forego in playing a move without changing tiles for a certain purpose. After both players incur three successive passes, the arbiter shall end the game and any tiles left in the bag are declared null and void. The players scores are, the, reduced by the

43

sum of tiles left in their respective racks. Time penalties, if any, are computed for the final scores. Adjudication a. Games with clocks. If both clocks will show a total consumed time of one hour and ten minutes (1:10), both players will be given a 3-minute extension each to play a last single turn beginning with the first player. (When the clocks show 1:10 and at the time it is the turn of the second player, the last single turn will commence only after the second player completes his/her turn of the regulation period. b. Games without clocks. The playing period and the procedure is the same as the games with time clocks. However, players who play too slow, whether deliberately done or not, will be given warnings. Penalties for repeated violations may be point deductions at the discretion of the arbiter. Factors that may be taken into considerations are how a particularly slow game affects the next scheduled round of play and the standing of the tournament. c. After discontinuing the game in the above cases, the rule on tiles deduction in 3b applied. Emergencies. Except for the 3 main cases, a game cannot be ended unless an emergency will arise involving any of the players. It shall be the arbiters discretion to decide on this matter. However, under normal circumstances, scrabble adheres to a no resign policy.

Others 1. Change tiles. A player can change tiles, 1 tile or all 7 tiles in his/her rack, provided there are still seven tiles left in the bag. A player can only change tiles during his/her turn and he/she must sacrifice to lose that turn with a score of zero. 2. Repeated words are acceptable. 3. Time clocks. Clocks must be used when available and the rate of play is 30 minutes each player. There shall be no time forfeiture in case the 30-minute allocated time will elapse. However, a penalty deduction of 5 points per minute or fraction of a minute will be assessed against the player whose time has elapsed. 4. Scoring system Win = 1 point Loss = 0 point Draw = point each Default Win = 1 point and +50 spread points Default Loss = 0 point and -50 spread points Spread Point is the difference of the actual scores of both players.

a. b. c. d. e.

5. Scoresheet. Players must use the official scoresheet of the tournament. Both scoresheets must be signed by both players after the game, authenticating results reflected in the scores. After affixing their signatures on both scoresheets, all data therein are considered as final. 6. Dictionary and Word references: a. International word list 2000-up b.

QUIZ BOWL General The quiz bowl will be a buzzer-style trivia game played by teams of four players. There are two types of questions: tossups and bonuses. Players buzz in to answer tossups, and a correct answer earns a team a bonus question on which they can collaborate. There will be two stages for the whole game. The first stage will consist of secondary school level questions and the second stage will have college level questions. The winner will be the team with the highest accumulated points at the end of the second stage. Tossups Tossup questions are answered by buzzing in and without conferring with teammates. Once the moderator starts reading a tossup, players can buzz in at any point. After a buzz, the moderator immediately stops reading, and looks to the player for her answer. (players have five seconds after buzzing to begin answering, after which the moderator should call time.) If the answer is correct, the team earns 10 points and the team then gets a bonus question (see "Bonuses"). If the answer is incorrect, the moderator finishes the question for the other team (who must still buzz in and cannot verbally confer). Each team only gets one buzz per question. Penalty for Incorrect Answers An incorrect buzz before the moderator has finished reading the question results in a 5 point penalty. We call this a "neg 5." Answers given after the moderator has finished reading the question will never cause the team to lose points. Verbally conferring with teammates is not allowed on tossups, even if the other team has already missed the question. If a team confers, it can be counted as an incorrect answer. Answering when a teammate's light is on instead of yours can also count as conferring, so be sure you are the one who buzzed in first! Once the moderator has finished reading a tossup, he will wait for a few seconds (five, unless otherwise noted) and then call time and move on to the next tossup. Bonuses After a player correctly answers a tossup, her team gets a bonus question. Bonuses are usually worth 30 points total. The entire team can confer on bonus questions, and the captain should give the answers. However, the captain can always designate another team member to answer for the team. Answers clearly directed at the moderator (his discretion) will be accepted as the team's answer. Unless otherwise noted, teams get 5 seconds to confer on each bonus part. After five seconds, the moderator prompts the team for an answer. After the prompt, the teams must start answering immediately. Missed bonus answers are not bounced back to the other team. 30-20-10 Bonuses Some bonuses, called 30-20-10s, give three clues about the same answer. A team scores 30 points for answering correctly after the first clue, 20 points after the second clue, 10 points after the third clue. The team can guess after each clue. Obviously, the moderator shouldn't reveal the answer until the end. Acceptable Answers Each question lists its answer and any acceptable alternate answers. It also indicates the required information. If a player gives less than the required information (e.g., just says "Roosevelt" when the question requires a first initial), the moderator can prompt him to elicit more information. Multiple prompts can be given, as long as the player keeps getting more specific. Any incorrect information given (e.g., the wrong first name for someone) makes the whole answer wrong. Titles and quotations must be exact, except that leading articles (like "a" or "the") can usually be omitted from titles. 54

Once a player has given an answer, he cannot change it, and only his first answer will be considered. ("Roosevelt. No! Kennedy!" will count as an answer of "Roosevelt". "Roos- Kennedy" will count as Kennedy, since the player didn't finish "Roosevelt.") Commonly used nicknames and acronyms ("JFK", "FBI") are usually okay or if deemed okay by the tournament director. Last names are usually okay for people; if not, the question should prompt for more. For fictional characters, sometimes the first name is acceptable. Answers should be given in English. Sometimes (especially for titles), answers given in the original language are acceptable. Pronunciation of answers must be nearly right. You cannot add syllables or consonants, and vowels must be approximately right. Phonetic pronunciation is okay. The moderator may prompt a player to clarify his pronunciation ("Monet" vs. "Manet"). Players may spell answers, and phonetic spellings are acceptable. Answers chosen from a list should include part of the actual answer; don't just say "the second one you said." When a team is asked to put things in order, they get points for each "slot" filled correctly. Thus, having your ordering shifted from the correct ordering can get you no points. Moderator Errors If the moderator inadvertently reveals an answer, he replaces the question with another one of the same type (another tossup, or another bonus part with the same point value). If one team had already answered the tossup incorrectly, the moderator reads the replacement tossup for the second team only. Conduct A player acting in a disruptive or unsportsmanlike way can be given a conduct warning. On the second violation, the player will be ejected from the current game. On the third violation, the player will be ejected from the tournament. Protests All decisions of the tournament director are final. A team can protest if they think they've been treated unfairly (they think the moderator erred in accepting or not accepting an answer, etc.) Except for ones which can be resolved quickly, protests should be made at the end of the half. Usually, protests will only be resolved if they affect the outcome of the game. If a protest is accepted, corrective measures will be taken, perhaps including adjustment of the score and the playing of extra questions. Intangible factors (such as the breaking of a team's momentum in the game) will not be considered when determining corrective measures. Players can ask for a buzzer check at any time, and it is their responsibility to make sure their equipment is working. Protests about buzzers not working should not invalidate whole matches or halves. Protests merely stating that "My answer was correct at that point in the question" will be rejected. The player should have waited until the question narrowed down to one answer. (Most questions become specific very fast.)
