The Geneva Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of participants
in the highest possible regard. Participants and parents, registering their child in recreation programs, must recognize; however, that there is an inherent
risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities. The Geneva Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all
participants follow safety rules and instructions that have been designed to protect the participant’s safety. Please recognize the Geneva Park District
does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each
person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program should review their own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted
that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make the Geneva Park District automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses.
Due to difficulty and high cost of obtaining liability insurance, the agency providing liability coverage for the Geneva Park District requires the execution of
the following Waiver and Release. Your cooperation in filling out the reverse is greatly appreciated.

GENEVA PARK DISTRICT MEN’S BASKETBALL LEAGUE RULES
OFFICIAL ILLINOIS HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION BASKETBALL rules and certified officials will govern all games with additions and exceptions listed in
these rules. Game officials and league supervisors have the ability to make any ruling which is deemed in the best interest of the league.
Governing Body
1) The Geneva Park District Recreation Department – Mickey Boyle, 630.232.4738 [email protected]
2) The League Supervisor will make the league schedule and collect all rosters and entry fees and shall rule on all matters affecting
the league not covered in these rules.
3) All league and non-resident fees are due with a completed registration packet on the dates specified by the League Supervisor.
4) Team rosters: each team will be allowed to have up to 15 players on its roster. All players are required to sign the roster sheet
before the first game and have a copy handed into the League Supervisor. Upon completion of the team’s 3rd game, the roster
is frozen. All protests with regards to player eligibility must be made prior to the start of the second half of each game. Players
are allowed to play on only one team.
General League Rules
1) Games will consist of two 20-minute halves. The game clock will run the first 38 minutes of the game except for injury, timeouts or official request. Regulation clock will be in effect during the last two minutes of the game. A 3-4 minute intermission
will be allowed between halves.
2) If the score is tied at the end of regulation play, a 2-minute overtime period will be played. A jump-ball will be used to
determine possession. Overtime will be played the same as the last two minutes of the game…IHSA Rules. If still tied after the
first overtime, “sudden death will be used” i.e., the first team to score following a jump ball will be declared the winner. In
tournament play there will not be “sudden death.” We will continue with 2 minute overtime periods until a winner is decided.
3) If the winning team is up by 30 points or more with less than 5 minutes left in the game, the game is finished.
4) A team may start and play with four players. If a team has less than 4 players at game time, the game clock will start. After 10
minutes has elapsed and the team still does not have 4 players, in the gym, the game will be declared a forfeit. The score will be
recorded as 20-0. Referees are not required to officiate forfeits.
5) Teams will be allowed 1 forfeit before being charged a forfeit fee. A $50 fee will be charged if a team forfeits a second or third
time. The forfeit fee must be paid before the next scheduled game. If the fee is not paid, another forfeit will be declared. After
the third forfeit, the team will be dropped from the league. Should a team forfeit out, all remaining games will be dropped from
the schedule and all games in that current round will be declared the winner. Final decisions on dropping a team from the
league will be made by the League Supervisor. Any team that is dropped from the league will also forfeit all fees that have
been paid.
6) Teams will be allowed 2 time-outs per half at one minute per time-out. During each extra period, each team will be provided
one additional time-out. Time-outs will not carry over to overtime or from half to half.
7) A coin toss will determine possession at the start of the game. Alternate possession will be used for all other jump ball
situations.
8) Scoring will be as follows: 2 pt / field goal, 3 pt / field goal beyond the arc, 1 pt / free throw, 2 pt / technical, flagrant,
intentional and unsportsmanlike fouls, 1 pt / all personal fouls before the final minute of the game.
