3×3 Basketball Match Format
3×3 Basketball is played between two teams of three players on a half court with one basket. Then there is one substitute for each side, so that substitutes can be made in the middle of a game.
Matches will run for 10 minutes of playing time or earlier if a team scores 21 points before the match is over. Shots in the circle give 1 point; shots behind the arc give 2 points. If the score is tied after regulation, the game moves to overtime; the first team to score 2 points wins.
