During Sneakerness Zurich 2013 10 teams will compete in a B-Ball Tournament.

Rules

Court Game:
Teams of 3 – max. 4 players (3 on field + 1 substitute). Play 10 minutes or until 21 points. Ordinary street ball rules, i.e. you have to go out the 3-point zone after each throw touches the basket, no free throws, game opens with check.

Players among each other are responsible for themselves whistling fouls. I.e. if a player feels that he was fouled, it’s foul. If the opponent says that it wasn’t one, they need to clarify that among themselves. “Referees” are only there to take time and note the score. On the other hand, there are no “No Blood No Foul” and the teams that take it in the hard and into a bad way and seriously risk the health of their opponents, can be disqulified from the tournament. Flying substitution. After a point, the “Losers Ball” gets the opponent, who collected the point. To get the possession of the ball, it will be thrown by a player at the 3-point line. In case of a tie after 10 minutes, the decision will be played (again, a player throws the ball). In the finals the teams play on 2 points difference.

Points behind the 3-point line count 2 points, every other shot counts one.
If women play along, their points counts plus 1. Women are only allowed to be blocked standing and not jumping. If theres a block by jumping, the other team will get the ball.
The winner will receive 2 points.

Playstation Game:
After the court game the 2 teams of 2 players each will compete. They play 10 minutes NBA 2K13 on the Playstation 3.

The winner will receive 1 point.

Finals:
Semifinals and finals will be played only court game. The finals take 15 minutes, which is played in two half times with a break between.

The winners will fly to the grand finale at the Sneakerness in Vienna 2013!
