- Player is or was employed by Raytheon Company is eligible to participate in the Raytheon Basketball League.
- Games will begin promptly at half past the
hour with a five-minute warm-up. There will be a five-minute halftime
and teams will switch ends at the half.
- Players are highly encouraged to bring basketballs to the gym. The game
ball will be selected by mutual consent of the captains. If you do not have a ball,
but want to buy one, RBL recommends that you purchase one
 here.
- Each half is twenty-five (25) minutes long, running time.
- Due to time constraints, the running clock cannot be stopped under any
circumstances. Both teams are encouraged to maintain continuous play
throughout the game.
- The home team wears white shirt. The away team wears black shirt. Please no gray shirt.
- The home team takes first possession of the ball. Possession then
alternates between "jump" balls and half-time (similar to NCAA
rules).
- There is a three-point line at the Curtis Middle School and it will be in effect. A
standard basket will be two (2) points, beyond the three-point line will be three (3) points.
- In case of a tie at the end of regulation, the team captains will
flip a coin to determine which team gets possession of the ball in
overtime. Overtime is limited to five (5) minutes running time. Only one
overtime will be played.
- If the score remains tied at the end of overtime, the game will be
decided by sudden-death. The team that lost the overtime coin-flip gets
possession first. The first team to score wins.
- A team may make substitutions only on a dead ball. This is to
prevent confusion for the defensive team and allows them sufficient time
to match-up with the new lineup. A made basket is NOT a dead
ball.
- A dead ball is always put into play from the top of the key. The player
putting the ball in play must do so with a pass; he may not dribble or
shoot first.
- There is no shot clock. However, "killing" the clock to
preserve a lead at the end of the game is considered unsportsmanlike
conduct. At the end of the game, the team with the lead should attempt a
shot within 30 seconds as if there was a shot clock.
- There is no backcourt ("over-and-back") violation due to the
length of the court.
- Fighting will not be tolerated. Any individual involved in fighting will
be suspended.
- The home team captain of the "First" game is responsible for getting the
game clock, ball and scoreboard from the custodian (Ron). The home team
captain of the "Last" game is responsible for returning the clock, ball and
scoreboard to the custodian (Ron).
- The winning team captain is responsible for reporting the game
score. All scores must be reported by the end of Friday for games played
that week. Failure to report the game score by Friday will result in a
forfeit by the team responsible for reporting the score.
- Fouls and violations are to be called by the player fouled or the
individual committing the foul.Each team will be allowed 10 fouls per half
without penalty. After a team exceeds the 10 foul limit, there will be two penalty
situations:(1) If a player is fouled in the act of shooting and the shot goes in,
the basket will count and that team will retain possession of the ball.
(2) If a player is fouled (any foul) and no basket is scored, one free throw will
be awarded plus that team will retain possession of the ball. (3) In the event of overtime,
the fouls accumulated during second half will be carried into the overtime.
- There is no foul limit. However, excessive fouling ("hacking away") will not be tolerated
and severely undermines the spirit of the RBL.
- To be eligible for playoffs, a player must be on team roster in possession of League record keeper
and participate in half of the teams scheduled games. The number of games required will be rounded
down to the nearest whole number, i.e. an eleven game regular season will require participation in
5 games to be eligible for the playoffs. Participation will be recorded by exchange of rosters with
the participating players for each game by the opposing captains. These notated rosters shall be
sent to the League record keeper. Forfeits will be counted as no participation by the forfeiting
team and actual attendance by the winning team. If the forfeit is agreed upon in advance, then the
winning captain will submit his expected attendance for that game to the League record keeper.
