EBL Official Rulebook
This is the official rulebook of the EBL everything is accounted for here and is to be obliged under all circumstances
1. Listen to the referee, if you disrespect them in anyway you will receive a technical foul, if you choose to continue doing so the referees have the ability to eject you from the game; if a referee is found showing any bias in a game due to grudge or any other reason they will be facing a suspension and possibly fired.
2. Technical fouls never reset, every technical results in a free throw to the opposing team and possession remains with the opposing team.
3. Two technicals on any one player is a one game suspension and immediate ejection from the game.
4. The inbounder has seven seconds to inbound the ball or it is a seven second violation and the other team will be awarded possession of the ball and will inbound next to the opposing team’s basket.
5. Both teams have ten seconds to cross halfcourt or it is a ten second violation and the opposing team will be rewarded the ball.
6. If a player steals the ball from a long distance notable enough to see it is a mile, whether on a pass or on a ball handler.
7. If the ball or the player is touching the halfcourt line after crossing halfcourt it is a backcourt violation or "BC" for short.
8. If the ball or player touches any of the outside lines it is out of bounds or "OOB".
9. Inbound pressing is not allowed and will result in a press warning, five press warnings in a game is a technical foul and every press after that is another technical, technicals will not reset after halftime.
10. Throwing the ball after a made shot will result in a warning, you will get up to two warnings every ball thrown after that is a technical. This rule stays in place even when the player who threw the ball out is on the inbounder's team.

13. If a coach uses :m for anything except substitutions or timeouts they will receive a warning, they can get up to two warnings every warning after that is a technical.
14. Substitutions can only be made if the ball goes out of bounds it can not be done after a made shot, if you want to make substitutions after a made shot you will have to call a timeout.
15. Both teams playing get six timeouts each.
16. Dropping hats is a technical no matter if it was by accident or on purpose.
17. Backspacing is banned from the league as well as tossing the ball up to yourself and getting it yourself.
18. Shooting a shot behind the backboard is illegal and will be called a behind the backboard violation or "BBV" for short.
19. The clock only stops on out of bounds, substitutions, and timeouts not after a made shot.
20. After a made shot or out of bounds the inbounder is to get the ball himself unless a player throws the ball away in which case the referee will hand him the ball.
