20 Point Advisory Rule

NEWSAnonymous writes: The MBL Board and MBL Directors at our last meeting adopted an advisory applicable to the “A” division and a Mercy Rule applicable to the “B” division. Please read and share these with your coaches and officials.

20 Point Advisory Rule for “A” Division Only

When a team is up by 20 points they are to fall back into a zone defense. They are not to press either full or half court.

20 Point Mercy Rule for “B” Division Only

When a team is up by 20 points they are to fall back into a zone defense. They are not to press either full or half court.

The penalty for violation of this rule:
- First instance a warning will be given and recorded in the official Scorebook
- Second infraction results in a bench technical. The team with the ball gets two shots and the ball.
- Third infraction results in a bench technical and the coach is dismissed from the game (must leave the gym) and two additional games. The team with the ball gets two shots and the ball.

Suggested adjustment to offense:
- Increase passing
- No fast breaks
- Sit player who is the cause of the infraction
