There is a half time break of 2 mins where teams have the chance to discuss strategies. We have a 4 minute substitution which is notified with a whistle. Maximise your fitness each game while we pump some tunes!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Points are totalled and the team with the most wins.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Some of our members are casual, while many are regular, this creates a dynamic mix of friends and new faces, this &lt;a href=\&amp;quot;http://www.basketball613.com.au/code-of-conduct/\&amp;quot;&gt;culture&lt;/a&gt; is what separates Basketball613 apart from standard league competition basketball.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The rules are refereed by the players, for the players. We use the FIBA rule system.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Coloured sashes are provided to players to identify which team you'r on, so you just need to bring comfortable clothes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you are attending a game for the first time, you will be allocated to the Intermediate/beginners session to start of with. We will then assess and allocate you to the appropriate skill level game after your first game.
