However, a team will win a game if they score 21 points before all the playing time has elapsed. There is no mandatory surface, thus a 3×3 game can take place on concrete, asphalt, existing or temporary courts, provided playability and player safety are considered.Įach 3×3 game has one 10-minute period of playing time, so it can usually be completed within a 20-minute timeframe. It has just one basket for both teams to aim for. The top two teams receive a bye directly to the semifinals while the other four teams play quarterfinal matches.ģ×3 basketball is played on a court half the size of a standard court, measuring in at 11m long and 15m wide. Each tournament begins with a round robin amongst all eight teams, from which the top six advance to a knockout round. The men’s and women’s 3×3 Olympic tournaments each feature eight teams of four players, although only three players are on the court at any one time.
The height of the net is the same under both rules, 3.05m above the floor. The international three-point line is an arc of radius 6.75m from the basket (versus 7.24m in the NBA). At 28m long and 15m wide, the international court is slightly smaller than that of the NBA and WNBA (28.65m x 15.24m). In the event of a tie at the end of regulation, the game will continue with as many five-minute overtime periods as necessary. Each game consists of four 10-minute quarters (versus 12-minutes in the NBA).

The top four teams in each group advance to the single elimination phase, beginning with the quarterfinals.Īlthough professional players, including those in the NBA and WNBA, have been allowed to compete in the Olympic Games since Barcelona 1992, international rules differ from the NBA in some notable areas. The teams in each tournament are divided into two groups of six for a preliminary round robin, earning two points for a win and one point for a loss. The men’s and women’s Olympic basketball tournaments each feature 12 teams of 12 players, although only five players are on the court at any one time. In a further evolution of the sport, 3×3 basketball made its Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020. The traditional full-court team game has been part of the Olympic program since Berlin 1936. The soccer ball Naismith had used was replaced by a larger leather-covered ball and instead of peach baskets (from which the ball was retrieved manually), there were nets attached to metal rims. Dribbling became accepted, the team size dropped from nine to five, and field goals were changed from three to two points. It didn’t take long for the game to evolve into something resembling the modern version.
