3 × 3 basketball

3 × 3 basketball (also 3-on-3 basketball) is a variant of the sport of basketball . There are three players per team on the field, unlike the "five against five" game, the game is played on just one basket . The origin of the reduced form of play is streetball , and “3 versus 3” is an exercise that is often used in training.

history

Since 2007, the world basketball association FIBA has been doing test runs with the "3-on-3" variant in Asia. The first official FIBA competition in this form of play took place as part of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Singapore.

Since 2012 FIBA has been holding "3-on-3" world championships. As part of these events, in addition to team competitions, dunking (men), technology (women) and three-point competitions (mixed) are held. A world tour has also been taking place since 2012.

In January 2017, the "3-on-3" profile league Big3 was founded in the United States . In June 2017 the International Olympic Committee announced that "3x3" basketball would be included in the Olympic program at the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo .

Set of rules

In “3 versus 3” there are four players per team on the registration form, with one acting as a substitute. At least one (sometimes two) referee directs the game, and up to two timekeepers are used. A coin is tossed before the start of the game: the team that wins this coin decision can decide whether to start the game with possession of the ball or let the opponent have the first possession.

The team that scores a basket receives one point. Two points are awarded if the basket is scored from outside the semicircle (called the “five against five” three-point line ). The playing time is a maximum of ten minutes. If a team has previously scored 21 points, it has won the game early. Both teams have one time-out per game; there are also two media time-outs for TV broadcasts: In the first situation with the ball at rest after 6:59 minutes, the second at the first opportunity with the ball at rest after 3:59 minutes. The team in possession of the ball has up to twelve seconds per attack. If the basket is successful, the defending team receives the ball under the basket, after which the ball must be moved into the area outside the semicircle by dribbling or passing. After a stationary ball, the defending team passes the ball to the attacking team outside the semicircle. Following a defensive rebound or a ball win, the ball must be dribbled or passed into the area outside the semicircle.

If a player is fouled in the throwing movement, he is awarded a free throw (two free throws for a foul outside the semicircle). The team foul limit is six. Each additional foul is punished with two free throws for the fouled player. From ten fouls committed per team, the fouled player receives two free throws, after which his team also has possession of the ball.

In a possible overtime, the team that did not have the first possession of the game has the first ball possession. The first team to score two points in extra time wins.

Players can be changed when the ball is stationary and before the ball is handed over to the opposing team. The changes are made on the fly, the substituted and substituted player must touch in order to officially carry out the process, approval of the change by the referee (s) or the competition table is not required.
