Rules & Information
This Document will cover information on Basketball, tips on how to play, and guide you through the basic rules. Basketball is a very fun sport that anyone can be a part of, whether or not you are in a team.
These rules can be used for Official Basketball Teams, however individual players may learn the rules just for fun or to prepare for tryouts. Basketball Captains have a say for their own rules for their teams.
Definitions
Court ~ Where a basketball game is played.
Airball ~ A shot that misses the goal, and everything entirely.
Backboard ~ The rectangular board attached, behind the hoop.
Block ~ When a defensive player stops the opponent from making a shot.
Dribbling ~ Bouncing the ball repetitively without interruption.
Free Throw ~ A free shot, that is thrown from the free throw line.
Layup ~ A shot taken near the basket while approaching it, usually off the backboard after dribbling.
Rebound ~ A missed shot, where the opponent attempted a shot, resulting in it hitting the rim and/or the backboard.
Man-to-Man ~ When each team member is in charge of guarding one person each, from the opposing team.
Game Functions & Operations
The Basketball Plugin can be very easy to understand if given a few simple minutes to observe.
To join a game, you must simply walk onto the court. Upon walking onto the court, it will automatically place you on either Team Red or Team Blue, as you will be given armor of either the color Red or Blue, indicating which team you are on. Your inventory will be temporarily cleared when walking onto the court, however will be returned when walking off.
* TIP * Do not log off on the Court, as your inventory will most likely be wiped. To avoid problems of losing your whole inventory if you crash on the court, always take a screenshot before playing a game to provide proof of your items.
Game Rules
The following rules do not have to apply to everyone on the server, but Official Basketball Teams and for those who are trying out. If you are playing basketball for fun, feel free to roam around the court with your own rules, however avoid doing so if interrupting Team games or practices.
Anyone is free to use the courts at any time of the day, however if practice is taking place you must not interrupt. If a Captain kindly asks you to leave the courts, please do so.
In order for the ball to appear, the minimum of two players must be on the court. Upon entering, the ball will appear. When leaving, the ball will disappear.
Roll out of 20 ~ Before most games, two players must roll out of 20. The player who rolls higher gets to grab the ball first. Upon grabbing the ball, the game begins straight away. After scoring, you do not need to roll again as the game continues.
Offense & Defense ~ These positions are usually chosen before the game, however to keep it simple: stay in your positions.
Offense: Staying on the Opposite side of the court, or roaming around both sides to score into the opponents basket.
Defense: Staying on your own side of the court, to defend and block any shots made towards your basket, as well as passing to your team members to get the ball closer to the opponent’s basket.
Positions
Center ~ Usually the tallest player, playing near the basket.
Offense: Tries to rebound and score on close shots.
Defense: Tries to rebound misses and block the opponent's shots.
Point Guard ~ Usually the best passer and dribbler. Driving the ball down the court.
Offense: Controlling the ball, getting the ball in time to the right player
Shooting Guard ~ Main goal is to score points for the team.
Defense: Stealing the ball on defense, shutting down the best opponent’s player.
Power Forward ~ Spend most of the game inside the three pointer line. Much like Centers they play near the basket, rebounding and defending.
Offense: Commonly play offense, playing with their “back to the basket”.
Small Forward ~ Responsible for defending and scoring points, roaming all around the court.
Offense: Tries to score many points
Defense: Tries to defend the ball

What to expect when joining a team:
Team work
You will be required to work as a team, getting along with one another and focusing on goals to make your basketball skills stronger as a team. It is important to bond with your teammates as it will help in games as well as be beneficial in the long run.
Practices
You will be required to go to practices as most Captains host practices once a week. Practices can range from playing games, practicing shooting, working on offense and defense, and even DetailRPing stretches and workouts. However at the end of the day, the team Captain has a say to the rules and regulations on practices.
Dedication
Captains are always keeping an eye out for dedicated players and those who show up to practices, making an effort. It is a good idea to work hard and show your best if you ever want to be considered as the next possible Captain for the team.
Sportsmanship
Last but not least, sportsmanship is another very important trait to carry. You will be having tournaments against another team, however at the end of the day no matter who wins or loses, we are all playing to have fun. Enjoy your time out there playing basketball, and be friendly to one another!
