Rules and regulations[edit]Scoring is achieved by putting the ball into the net at the opponent's end of the court for points, while preventing the opposing team from doing the same at one's own net.
The aim is to have outscored the opposing team when the game ends. A successful score can be worth two points if the ball is thrown through the hoop without the offensive player touching the hoop. Slam dunks are scored three points.

Vincent Thomas Lombardi (June 11, 1913 – September 3, 1970) was an American football player, coach, and executive in the National Football League (NFL). Your coach: Oh look, it’s offensive guru and “Guy who got a job in the SNL writer’s room because Dad is a billionaire” Adam Gase! Honeymoon’s over, Gasey!
All shots outside the three- point arc are worth three points as well. Four players from each team (out of an 8 or 9 player roster) may be on the court at one time. Substitutions are unlimited and can be done during play (as in the game of hockey).

Each team has a coach and additional staff which includes assistant coaches, managers, statisticians, doctors, etc. The game is controlled by two referees and the table officials.
The table keeps track of the score, time, team possessions, fouls and the shot clock. Playing regulations[edit]Games are played in four 5- minute quarters, unlike the NBA, which plays for four 1. The game commences with a "bounce- off" in which the ball is bounced at center court. The ball must reach its apex uninterrupted, at which point the players are allowed to "check" each other. Ten minutes are allowed for a half- time break; only one time- out is permitted to each team, which may only be used during the last two minutes of regulation play.
A 1. 5- second shot clock is utilized. Teams change ends for the second half. A tie score at the end of regulation time is settled by a series of "face offs" (see Fouls below). Positions[edit]. Diagram of a Slam. Ball court. Each team has four players on the court at any one time. There are three positions: Handler: This is the primary ball handler on the team. It is his job to run the offense and organize the other members while controlling the flow of the game.
Typically he would be responsible to set up the gunners to attack the basket while adding in his own offensive threat, comparable to a point guard in basketball. Gunner: The primary scorer on the team.
A team's gunner will be the player on the team that will attack the basket and finish plays against the opposing teams' stopper, comparable to a forward or wing player in soccer or hockey. Stopper: This position is for the primary defensive player. He trails the offense only when necessary, and he protects the rim from attacking players by using himself as a shield.
Goaltending is legal if the shot attempt is from inside the trampoline area. Teams are free to choose their own configuration, the usual formations being 1 stopper, 2 handlers, and 1 gunner OR 1 stopper, 1 handler, and 2 gunners. Each player can commit just three personal fouls before he is removed from the match (unlike in the NBA, where it is six personal fouls).
A coach or player displaying poor sportsmanship (such as fighting, arguing vehemently against an official) may be charged with a technical foul. Two technical fouls results in a disqualification. When a foul is called, the player who has committed it will then take position on the baseline of the lower trampolines while the player who was offended will take up offensive position at center court. This is called a face- off.
Upon a signal from the referee the offensive player will be free to mount an attack at the basket, which the defender now must endeavor to stop. The defender must enter the lower trampoline only after bouncing in from the side trampoline. If the offensive player is successful, then points will be awarded depending on the shot converted and the offensive players' team will retain possession of the ball. In the case of any tie- ups, the defensive team always gain possession, but if the shot was blocked, the offensive team retains the ball from center court. List of Common Fouls: [2]When an offensive player has the ball and a defensive player checks him in the back.
Result: Faceoff. When an offensive player has the ball and a defensive player checks him before he has begun to dribble the ball. Result: Faceoff. When an offensive player has the ball and a defensive player checks him while he is attempting to enter the trampoline. Result: Faceoff. When two offensive players step/bounce on the same trampoline. Result: Turnover. When an offensive player bounces on a trampoline twice while in possession of the ball. Result: Turnover.
When either a Player or the Coach of a team argues with the referee and uses physical or verbal abuse in anger. Result: Can either be a Faceoff or Turnover (referee decides)When two players from the same team are on the same island or trampoline, or 'station' as it is called. Watch Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker Putlocker# here. Result: Turnover. Three- second violation: When any offensive player is stationed in an island area (sides of trampolines) for three seconds.
Result: Turnover. When a shot is attempted from an island. Result: Turnover. When the defense holds position on an island, a charge can be called against the opposition. Result: Turnover.
Popcorn effect: When a defensive player deliberately interferes with the offensive player's bounce, caused by standing on the offensive player's landing spot to cause the equivalent of a trip in basketball. Result: Faceoff. Equipment[edit]. D render of a Slam. Ball court. The spring floor lies adjacent to two sets of four trampoline or spring bed 'quads' which dominate each end of the court.
Each trampoline surface measures 7 by 1. The shock absorbent panels pair with the competition bed trampolines to create a unique playing surface that both launches players to inhuman heights and cushions their landing upon returning to the floor. Specifically engineered pads are designed to cover the frame rails and their tapered design allows for maximum safety for on- court play. This entire playing surface will be surrounded with an 8 ft (2. Plexiglass wall much like in a hockey rink.
Players wear protective cups and special equipment to protect various areas of the body. This consists of knee and elbow pads, and an optional Slam. Ball- specific helmet.
History[edit]. Mason Gordon, creator of the sport. Slam. Ball was the creation of Mason Gordon, who wanted to create a combination of sports that approximated a real- life video game,[3] and the name Slam.
Ball is owned by Gordon's company. Upon developing the concept, Gordon approached Mike Tollin, a TV and film producer of Smallville, Wild Hogs, and Coach Carter fame. After giving it some thought, he agreed to help Gordon. Painstaking thought was put into the development of the game. Many different ideas and concepts encompassing everything from court construction to team strategies were addressed. Six months after their first meeting, a court was constructed in a warehouse in East Los Angeles, California.
