HYIQ Scoring System
After 10 minutes of play, add +7 to the team with more points at the time, and the game is played to that calculated score.
Example: if the score is 14-10 at after 10 minutes, the game will be played to 21. 21 is the “Magic Number"
This ensures you have to score to win!
3’s will count as 3’s and 2’s as 2’s.
You will have 5 minutes to get to the “Magic Number”
First team to the magic number, wins the game
Sudden Death:
(If the “Magic Number” isn’t reached within the 5 minutes)
Score Differential
0-1: Next Point Wins
2-3: Loosing team need a stop and a score. If they do, next point wins. If they dont, game is over.
4+ The game is OVER
Sudden Death Rules:
1) The winning team receives the ball first
2) If tied, use the possession arrow
3) In a stop & score situation, if loosing team gets foul shots, they need to get it within a 0-1 point differential to make it a “Next Shot Wins” game. If they dont, game is over.
Check Ball:
The first possession of the game is determined by a foul shot. The gym leader will call out which team will shoot the foul shot.
Every possession starts with a check ball.

Substitutions
