  1. Playing Philosophy
    1. Quarter 1 – Strongest Players
    2. Quarter 2 - Developmental Players (Strongest players, regardless of position, should not play during this quarter)    

·        Example- if there are 12 players on a basketball team, each player should be numbered from #1- #12: (#1 being the strongest and #12 being the weakest): # 1-5 should not play in Quarter 2.

    1. Quarters 3 & 4 – Coaches decision based on competitiveness of the contest.
  1. No player may play more than 3 quarters.  Entry into each quarter rather than actual playing time shall constitute “participation” in the quarter.  
  2. If the minimum number of players needed for a 4 Quarter Extended Play period is met, the number of minutes for each quarter will be increased (see above chart). 
  3. If a player is injured during a contest, and the minimum number of participants is no longer met, the game must go back to the regulation 4 quarter time limits.
