Welcome to the Armageddon Basketball League. A 2 on 2 outdoor basketball league founded by Jailin Willis. A total of 12 teams compete through 9 tough and battle hardened games for a chance at the championship. At the end of the regular season, the top 8 seeded teams advance to the playoffs. While the remaining 4 teams are eliminated. If there is a tie for a playoff position then the team’s total points accumulated over the entire regular season will be added up and whoever’s higher will advance. The playoffs consist of the top 8 seeded teams ranked at the end of the regular season. Playoffs and the championship games will all be played best 2 out of 3. Trophies will be given to the champions and regular season MVP. Awards will be given to the player with the most assists at the end of the regular season, if a player scores 10 or 11 points in a game, and to a team that goes undefeated. Games will be played on Saturday’s at 3pm to 6pm. Weekly game recaps along with team and player stats standings will be posted on Tuesday. Game times and schedules will be posted on Thursday. Players are expected to arrive before their scheduled game. Early arrival is recommended in order to get warmed up completely and ensure the games run on schedule. There is a 5 minute grace period that is the pre shoot around before the game starts. If a team is not there they forfeit the game. If 1 player is there then they will be allowed another 5 minute grace period but will start with a 2 point deficit. Overtime will be 1 period 5 minutes. Each team will have one 15 second timeout and the first team to score and get a stop will win. If no team scores in the 1st OT, then the game will go to sudden death by free throw.
Official Rules:
Games are first to 11 or highest point total after 15 minutes.
15 minute running clock, each team gets 2 total timeouts.
Clock stops on every dead ball when there’s 1 minute left in the game.
Make it Take it
If the ball becomes stagnant then an 8 second shot clock will count down.
Call your own fouls.
Teams get 2 chance shots, which are shots that can be taken to overrule a call that was disagreed on.
Chance shots can only be used for defensive fouls, close out of bounds calls and traveling violations.
Chance shots are only allowed if I allow it.
Any call can be overruled by me if I see fit. I have the final say on all calls and chance shots.
If play gets too physical and aggressive then a free throw will be awarded as a penalty and that team will get back possession.
3 flagrant penalties in a game and your team automatically forfeits.
