• There are some FIBA Special Rules I want to make you aware of when you are officiating Club Ball Games

1. Please allow the wearing of T-Shirts with the official game shirt as long it is the same colour as the team jersey. This is to be treated the same as the Federation rule.

2. Please use the following procedure for players in the lane spaces:

- If there are FIBA lane markings, then use them and follow the FIBA rules regarding free throws.

- If there are no FIBA lane markings, then use the Federation lines and have the first lane spaces vacant as with this year’s Federation rule. Continue to use all the other FIBA rules regarding free throws.

3. Where games are broken into more then four periods, commonly 8 periods for purposes of equal playing time, every time the new period begins, use the alternating possession arrow. It is irrelevant which team had possession when the previous period came to an end.

4. Please allow non-FIBA numbers on game jerseys. This will be the last year it is allowed by Ontario Basketball.
