Second Amendment Set - Refereeing, Score Changes, Fouls (ASCBBL)

This is the second amendment set. 

1. Before invoking any disciplinary sanctions, There must be a reason.

    1a. This reason must be stated to either the commissioner or another referee and then referred to the commissioner

2. There is only one reason that a team will get points from not getting a basket and those are palpable unfair acts as defined below

• If a player is pushed during a shot then it will be called as follows "Palpable unfair act - Pushing, Insert Team awarded 2/3 points." 

• If a player deliberately trips someone then it will called as follows "Palpable unfair act - Tripping, Insert Team awarded 2/3 points." 

3. If a team at any point changes the scoreboard then the player whom commits the act is awarded an on-notice penalty.

4. The scoreboard will only change time or scores if any of the following occur

• A score is made.

• There is a penalty awarded as the clock is on 0.0 

(In this instance the player will get their free throws & The clock will be reset to 20 seconds. Once the free throws are taken then the clock is set to the next period except in Period 4.)

• There is an injury (This is the only reason other than me disputing calls which will cause clocks to stop) 

• If a team commits an palpable unfair act.

5. I as commissioner reserve the right to: Change scores, Update standings (With regard to the Third Amendment Set: Game Results, Score Changing, Multiple Fouling & Technology) Revoke calls from a referee if I find necessary and make calls if necessary.

6. Necessary shall be considered as the following "If a referee made no call on earlier fouls and now does then the call will be revoked."

7. Following Week Fours incident, A score cannot be changed by me in order to do the following

  7a. Make a game enter overtime or shootout.

    7b. Make a team be awarded bonus points (BP) on the standings.

8. I also being a referee may make a call if seen as necessary.

9. Ok, I will now change the colour system for fouls. It now works as follows
💚 - (Green foul) - Awarded for minor acts of unsportsmanlike behaviour, 1 free throw awarded.

💛 - (Yellow foul) - Awarded for severe acts of unsportsmanlike behaviour, 2 free throws awarded.

🔴 - (Red foul) - Awarded for major acts of unsportsmanlike behaviour, 3 free throws awarded.

           

10. Fouls are not awarded to players. However, If staff observe major disobedient acts. They can receive a  ⚫️ - (Black foul A) or ✖️(Black foul B), A Black foul A is a send off for 1 period meanwhile a Black foul is an ejection

11. In the hopefully rare situation that due to injury and black fouls a team is bought down to 4 players then the following protocol must be applied.

11a. If 5 players are left and one gets a black foul, Then they MUST remain in the game. With one massive difference, The foul free throw values are doubled.

11b. If due to injury a team is bought to 4 players then the following protocol will be applied

11b(I). The other team must pull one of their players except if 11c occurs

11c. If both teams are bought to 5 players and both teams receive injuries, Then the game will go to 4-on-4

11d. If a team while on 4 players loses another player due to injury, Then the other team must pull one of their players except if 11e occurs. 

11e. If both teams receive injuries while playing 4-on-4 the game will proceed to 3-on-3.

11f.  If while on 3-on-3 a team receives an injury, Then the game will be declared a non-result. 

Updated April 21st to update the Black foul system.

Third Amendment Set - Game Results, Score Changing, Multiple Fouling & Technology

This shall be the third amendment set.

1)      Game results can be called in one of four ways

i)        OFFICIAL RESULT – If a game has full period scoring and full accurate play-by-play it will be declared as an OFFICIAL RESULT

ii)       FINAL RESULT – If a game only has a score and incomplete play-by-play it will be declared as a FINAL RESULT

iii)     FORFEITED GAME – If a team forfeits then it will be declared as a FORFEITED GAME

iv)     NO RESULT – If a game has no result called for it then it shall be a NO RESULT

2)      Scores may only be changed by the Commissioner in accordance with the Second Amendment set

3)      If a player is given a foul and another foul is committed against them, Then the free throws from such foul will be added to the further foul.

i)          However if a player incurs multiple fouls then all are multiplied (For example if a player gets 5 red fouls they will receive 15 free throws)

4)      The score during Live Play is kept on the iPad app Ballers Scoreboard. All scores from games are kept here SN Sport Results, All play is shown using an Apple TV and Pauline’s HTC Phone shall be a Wi-Fi Hotspot.

Commentary on Week 4

No commentary this week. I have a notice to place up today and rules will certainly be changed. 

Commentary on Week 3

This week I want to declare "Bizzare, Controversy, Screw Up Week"  because in the ASCBBL there was a controversial call which caused me to full on rant & Because I played scores became screwed up. Alas why there wern't period scores on the official result & Why 3-pointer bonus points wern't added, Furthermore in just 3 games of the Regular Season we got an own basket. Now on to the ASCDBL, This weeks game caused two 2 week suspensions for fighting & it turned into the NBA as 3 birds came into SN Stadium. (No, The game wasn't suspended to remove them.) Anyway, Congrats to the Challengers. Cya next week!

Ty Kelly
ASCBBL/DBL Commissioner

A Note Regarding the ASCDBL All-Star Game

Only the series game winner will earn points towards standings. 

EXAMPLE: If the series of 7 games is won in Game 5 then only Game 5 will count towards standings. 

Tiebreaking Criteria

Yes. I'm in Sydney. However I will provide a couple of points here.

First, In the event that teams are tied on Total Points total the following tiebreakers shall be applied.

• The team with the most amount of points (PTS) shall win the trophy.

• If the PTS score is the same then the team with the most amount of bonus points (BPTS) shall win the trophy

• If the teams are still tied after the first two tiebreakers then the team with the most Regulation/Overtime Wins (ROTW) shall win the trophy.

• If the teams are still tied after the first 3 tiebreakers then the team with the most shootout/sudden death wins (SOW) shall win the trophy

• If the teams are still tied after the 4 tiebreakers above, Then the trophy shall be declared shared.
