Mid-Maryland Rules Summary From the Bylaws:
Article IX -- Special Rules A. Games will consist of four quarters lasting seven minutes for both Jayvee and Varsity games with a stopped clock. Any overtime period will be an additional three minutes. B. There will be no backcourt defense at any time during the entire game when the defensive team has a lead of fifteen (15) or more points. After one warning an official may assess a technical foul to the coach, resulting in two free throws and possession to the other team. The officials are encouraged to use their discretion in these cases and the technical foul will not be assessed as a conduct foul to the coach. This rule is to be brought to the attention of the officials before the game. C. The three-(3) point shot rule is in effect for all games. D. All players on each team must participate in the game unless there is an issue of injury, illness or disciplinary action. Failure to do will result in a forfeit if documented in the official scorebook. If a player is in uniform and sitting on the bench but will not be playing, then her coach will so inform the opposing coach before the game. There is no mandatory playing time for any player. E. Any coach receiving a technical foul for conduct or any coach ejected from a game must be reported to the President by that coach's association in a timely manner following the game. Any coach ejected from the game is to leave the premises immediately and is suspended for, at a minimum, the team's next game. Failure to observe the suspension will result in a forfeit. F. If no officials are present thirty (30) minutes after the scheduled start of the first game (usually the Jayvee game), the games will be rescheduled. If only one official is present, it is the decision of that official whether or not the game is to be played.
G. All teams are guaranteed a ten minute warm-up and all half-time breaks will be ten minutes. This may be changed only with the consent of both coaches. Other Clarifications-A 10-second backcourt count will be used in place of a 30 second shot clock. -A 30-second shot clock may be used if available, but both head coaches must agree to use it prior to the game. This is Varsity Only!
