- Number of Players: Each team consists of 3 players on the court and 1 substitute.
- Game Duration: The game lasts 10 minutes or until one team scores 21 points, If the time expires and no team reaches 21 points, the team with the highest score wins.
- Scoring: Shots made inside the arc are worth 1 point, Shots made from beyond the arc are worth 2 points.
- Shot Clock: Teams have only 12 seconds to shoot, compared to 24 seconds in traditional basketball.
- Resuming Play: After a basket or turnover, the team gaining possession must take the ball beyond the arc before attempting to score.
- Possession Rules: After a made basket, play does not restart from the center as in traditional basketball. The defending team transitions directly into offense.
