Rules for Open Gym are as follows:
1) Cost - Cost to participate in open gym will be $4 per person. Payment can be made in person or through Cash App ($ExpressAthletics)
2) Sign-up - Sign up occurs when you approach the open gym organizer and request your name be placed on the list and pay the designated fee. You may also sign up prior to your arrival by sending your payment through Cash App ($ExpressAthletics). If you want to sign up multiple players, you must pay for the players at the time of sign up. There will be no exceptions.
3) Start - The first game will start once we have enough players signed up (paid), to begin 5 on 5 full court.
4) Length - Games will last until one of the following have been reached:
a) 8 min duration,
b) 21 points in 5 on 5 full court
5) Scoring - All made field goals are worth two points, unless shooter of the made field goal began the shot behind the arc. Those are field goals are worth three points.
6) Last Minute - If the score is within one possession (three points or less) the clock will stop on all dead balls. If a shooting foul occurs the clock will stop, and the player fouled will receive two free throws. If the second free throw is missed, either team may rebound the ball and continue play. If an intentional foul occurs the clock will stop, the player fouled will receive one free throw and the offensive team will inbound the ball at half court.
7) Overtime - If the score is tied at the end of regulation one player from each team will shoot one free throw. If only one player makes the free throw, his/her team will be declared the winner. If neither or both make the free throws, then a new player from each team will attempt free throws. The game will continue this way until one player makes a free throw and the other player misses a free throw. If all five players shoot free throws and the score is still tied, both teams must leave the court and sign up at the bottom of the list.
8) Winning Streak - Teams that win three consecutive games must sit down for one game if there are more than two teams waiting to play. If the same team returns to the court and wins three more games and there are two or more teams waiting to play, they must then sign up their team at the bottom of the list.
Open gym is not mandatory! If individuals choose to come play, then I expect them to follow the rules in which I set forth. My objective is to keep basketball going. Open gym is not meant to benefit a small group of players. It’s intended to affect the entire basketball community of El Paso, Las Cruces and Fort Bliss.
