FIBA2000 rules

preface

The continued success of basketball, which has been popularized and developed around the world, requires that the "rules" that govern the game ensure that the game is vibrant, engaging, and exciting, and that the "rules" do not provide an opportunity for a team to gain an unfair advantage over their opponents. In order to achieve, adhere to and improve this goal, FIBA has decided to make some changes to the Rules www.biquge.info of Basketball (1998---2002). The Rules of Basketball Competition (2000) were adopted at the FIBA Central Bureau meeting on May 5, 2000, and were translated and approved by the Chinese Basketball Association. In the future, international competitions, domestic competitions and all kinds of basketball referee promotion examinations shall be carried out in accordance with these rules.

Chinese Basketball Association, January 16, 2001

All coaches, athletes, referees, etc., mentioned in the Basketball Rules are men, and the same applies to women. It must be understood that this is only for practical reasons.

These lines, with the exception of end lines, are part of the restricted area.

It is possible to color inside the restricted area, but it must be the same color as the inside of the center circle.

A penalty area is a restricted area plus a semicircle drawn on the field with a radius of 1.80 meters centered on the midpoint of the free throw line. The semicircles in the restricted area should be drawn as dotted lines.
