Rules & Information
This document will contain a series of rules. 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 in their own rules for their teams.
The following information will cover the basics of any information you can find on basketball. This will include how to play, tips, and a rough guide on how things work on SchoolRP. It is not required to be on a sports team in order to play freely, however, if you feel as if it is suitable for you, you can.
Tryouts are announced in the Karakura Academics discord which will be linked at the end of this thread. These are official rules that are typically used in games or tournaments. While playing amongst your friends, you do not have to follow anything, but you should be prepared to be aware of these if you plan on tryout for an official team.
More rules may be added depending on your team, yet that is up to your captain.

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 the 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, a 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.
