Wild Wild West Shootout Rules
Fouls and Violations
- The official will call all fouls and violations.
- Shooting fouls will be handled in the following manner:
When the basket is made – count the basket and whether the ensuing free throw is made or missed, possession goes to the defensive team.
When the basket is missed – if the free throw is made or missed, possession goes to the defensive team.
NOTE: One (1) free-throw will be awarded to the fouled player, even if fouled in the act of attempting a shot from behind the 2-point line.
- Non-shooting fouls – on and after the 5th team foul a free throw will be awarded. It will be handled in the following manner: If the free throw is made or missed, possession goes to the defensive team.
- All free throws are dead balls.
- Free Throw Option: in any free throw situation, (including intentional fouls or flagrant fouls,) the designated shooter may at his or her option choose to shoot from the free-throw line for one (1) point, OR from behind the 2 point line for 2 points. In either case, the player shooting must have both feet completely behind the line when initiating and completing the attempt. If the 2 point shot is chosen, the non-shooting team will be awarded the ball regardless of whether the shot is successful or not (Exception: intentional fouls or flagrant fouls).
- All technical, intentional or flagrant fouls will be counted as a team foul.
