Courts are planned to be available for practice at 7:30 a.m. Games are encouraged to start early. Players should arrive early for afternoon sessions.

Block games are timed at 70 minutes. When time expires, each ball in the rotation gets one more shot if the game is a one-point differential. For a tied game, play continues until the tie is broken.

For double-banked interference, the delayed game notifies the other game of interference and the in-play game has five minutes to score the hoop. If five minutes elapse, the in-play game balls are marked and the delayed game then has five minutes to attempt to score the hoop before marking the balls for the first game. This sequence repeats until the interference has been resolved.

The clock is not stopped for double-banked interference.

All games will start on the same side of the court with the second game, starting promptly after the first game scores hoop 2.
