– No team or game is allowed to opt into pressing if they are a non-pressing game/team.
– Divisions can be confirmed by looking at the numbers in the schedule.

they are just numbers used in the scheduling program.
– Coordinators are responsible for informing their coaches, teams, parents & referees. If
you are using a host gym you are responsible to inform the gym also.
2021-2022 WMCYO RUNNING TIME GAMES
(Revised 1/3/2022)
For the 2021 – 2022 WMCYO Basketball has adopted a running time game format. All games
and programs must follow this game format for this season.
– Each game will be comprised of (2) 20:00 minute halves.
– The clock is not stopped during play except for injuries or if a referee calls for it to stop
because of an extended issue.
– Lining up for free throws is not an extended issue.
– Note: the first half should not end on free throws, if the clock is running down
during a free throw the clock should be stopped at 10 seconds. This will allow for
the other team to in-bound the ball and run a final play.
– The clock will only switch to stop time for the last 2:00 minutes of the game.
– If the Mercy Rule is in effect, then there is no stop time for the last 2:00 minutes.
– As the half should not end on free throws, the game should not either, so the
same 10 seconds applies here too.
– There is no overtime, if the game ends are a tie it is a tie and will reflect that way in the
standings.
– Coordinators are responsible for informing their coaches, teams, parents, referees and
host gyms of these rules.
– No program in WMCYO can opt out of this format, all games must be played according
to these rules.
