Three Point Line (measured from the centre of the basket) 6.25 m (23' 5)
Restricted Area (a.k.a. "The Key" or "The Lane")
A trapezoid 3.6 m (12') wide at the free throw line and 6 m wide (19' 8.25") at the
baseline
Playing Time
4 - 12 minute quarters; OT periods are 5 min each
Game Clock Operation-Last Minutes of Play/Field Goal
In last minute of quarters 1, 2, 3, last 2 minutes of quarter 4 and any OT
Shot Clock - Time Allowed To Shoot 24 seconds
Shot Clock-Operation
That a team must attempt a shot before the clock expires and that for it to be a legal
attempt; the ball must strike the ring. After a legal attempt, the clock is reset to its
maximum value and does not start again until a team gains control (or is awarded
possession for a throw-in). Likewise, a change of team control causes the shot clock to
be reset. Shot clocks are stopped when play stops. Clocks are never reset when a
defensive player causes the ball to go out of bounds (the word "violation" used below
does not refer to out-of-bounds violations). The rules diverge on which situations
cause a reset, how much that reset will be, and when the clock will restart.
