Basketball Meeting Update: Rule Changes Edition

RULE CHANGES ADOPTED AT THE 11/19/19 WINTER BASKETBALL MEETING
 

• Recreational Divisions: the group voted to remove gender restrictions regarding the minimum number of females that must be on the court at all times.  Now a Recreational Coed team can legally be made up of either gender or even all boys and there are no restrictions to who has to be on the court at any given time.  However, in Recreational Sports it is still encouraged that all kids on your roster play at least 50% of the game (when possible)
• Competitive Divisions: the group voted to keep the same tie-breakers utilized in the Fall Season when 2 teams are tied for one place (with Head to Head being utilized first).  When 3 or more teams are tied for one place we will stick to the revised tie-breakers of using Total Points Allowed during league play.  The new Tie Breakers are:
  • 2 teams tied for one place: 
    • a. Head to head score,
    • b. Total points allowed during league play,
    • c. Point differential (total points scored – total point allowed),
    • d. Coin toss
  • 3 or more teams tied for one place
    • a. Total points allowed during league play,
    • b. Head to head score,
    • c. Point differential (total points scored – total points allowed),
    • d. Total points scored,
    • e. Draw for seed (1-2-3-4 etc)
• Competitive Divisions: the group voted to have all technical fouls be 2 free throws as opposed to just awarding 2 points automatically.

REMINDER: TOMORROW, Friday, November 22nd at 6PM is the DEADLINE to register team or make any revisions to those teams. Teams will be on the schedule as of 6pm Tomorrow and your school will be billed.  We will not make any changes after that point.  Game Schedules will be released at 6PM on December 1st.


REMINDER: Don't setup your own teams in National Sports ID. NCSAA will setup your National Sports ID Teams for you this season.  We've had a few schools create their own teams incorrectly and this could cause issues later.  This is how teams show as verified without physicals and waivers.  A few schools did this incorrectly this Fall and had issues. We've made the process even easier, you just have to tell us what you need.  Once you fill out your Winter Basketball Team Registration online at https://www.ncsaasports.com/basketballregistration.html we will build your team and add you as the Head Coach.  You then add players by simply searching for returning player from Fall or send a personalized email link to those who didn't play in the Fall to join NSID.   Returning players don't have to do anything.  New players will have to do the entire process.  You may re-submit your Basketball Registration as many times as you need until November 22 at 6PM.  The earlier the better for our planning and for you to get started on the process. If you have already made your own teams make sure you add "Melanie Mark" as coaches so we can fix your settings and avoid issues.
