Longer and Stronger

IN 2016, The Commissioner has decided to update some of the rules. See below!

Trades! What?!?!

More Fouls??? What?!?!?

The revolution is here! Gone are 1 pointers! Enter 2s & 3s!!

If the losing team is down by 10 points or less, with 10 seconds or less remaining on the game clock, they are allowed to foul.
The losing team can foul as many times as they wish, as long as the first part of this section still applies.
Whomever is fouled on the leading team will shoot TWO free throws -- worth ONE point each.
The ball is live after the second shot.

That's right -- TRADES will be part of TomBall this year on a trial basis to see how it works
Once teams are sent out, each Captain will have until 11PM Eastern Time on FRIDAY NIGHT to make a trade with another team
It is MANDATORY that each Captain make AT LEAST ONE trade
Trades must be approved by The Commissioner prior to 11PM Eastern Time
Trades will not be made public until The Commissioner announces them at the start of The Classic

No longer do you have to RSVP three months in advance for The Classic!

A 3-point line will be added to each side of the court at roughly 18' feet away from the respective basket.
Any made basket that originates from within the 3-point line (this includes if any part of your body is touching the 3-point line) will count as TWO POINTS
Any made basket that originates from beyond the 3-point line (no part of your body is touching the 3-point line) will count as THREE POINTS
A free throw is still worth ONE POINT
