Rules of The Basketball Courts

For the sports locations, your skills are only as good as anyone's in
real life unless you have created techniques. This means no super
speed, super strength, etc. unless you've made the technique for that
and have gotten it approved. Also, in any Sports RP, you don't use dice
but you use regular RPing which involves writing what your character
does. This means that we have to be fair in what we do and write. Since
this is for fun, the rules of the game will only be but so basic and
some rules may be tweaked or omitted from the forum that are in the
real game. These are the general rules of the game on this forum:

• 
  
  Basketball is a team sport
  
• Two teams of five players each try to score by shooting a ball through a
  hoop elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court,
  and there is a hoop at each end.
  
• 
  
  The ball is moved down the court toward the basket by passing or dribbling. The team with the ball is
  called the offense. The team without the ball is called the defense. They try to steal the ball, contest
  shots, steal and deflect passes, and garner rebounds
  
• When a team makes a basket, they score two points and the ball goes to
  the other team. If a basket, or field goal, is made outside of the
  three-point arc, then that basket is worth three points.
  
• 
  
  Each team is assigned a basket or goal to defend. This means that the other basket is their scoring basket.
  
• To keep things interesting on this forum, there will be no foul shots and hitting is permitted.
