Game Situations
- Conference games are scheduled for Friday nights throughout the season. If a school is unable to play on a scheduled date, it is proper for them to contact the other school to reschedule the games well in advance to the previously scheduled date. Also contact the league statistician so the changes are noted on the stats.
- The starting times and quarter lengths of other games will be: B Girls - 5:15 PM-ten minute halves
A Girls - 6:00 PM-six minute quarters
B Boys - 7:00 PM-ten minute halves
A Boys - 8:00 PM-six minute quarters
- All teams will be allowed ten minutes to warm up between games. This may be shortened if both coaches agree upon a warm-up time. Five minute half-times will be allotted for each game.
- Each team is allowed 3 full timeouts and 2 :30 second timeouts per game. They may be used in any part of the game.
- The 3-point basket will be used by all teams. The distance is 19'9" from the center of the basket.
- An overtime period will consist of a three minute period. One additional timeout will be given to each team for each OT period.
- Pressing. No Pressing is allowed on the B-team level if a team has a 15 point or greated lead. A-teams may press at any time but coaches must consider the score of the game when applying the press(full court or half court) so as to show good sportsmanship and keep loppsided scores in check.
- The home team is responsible for 2 game officials. Schools are required to get state certified officials for the last three games of the night. These officials should be unbiased and not have any children participating in the games.
- The home team is to provide an official scorekeeper and an official to run the scoreboard. Schools are encouraged to get adults to fill these roles because they do carry responsibility and pressure that adults can more easily handle.
- The home team is responsible for calling in all the scores to the LLL statistician by the following Monday morning. This is important, for without the scores, the weekly stats cannot be mailed on time.
- Other rules will be followed as set up by the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) and as stated in the Official High School Basketball Rules. Each school is given a copy by the LLL.
