Each team has five members, one of whom is the captain, and a maximum of seven substitute players, but the number of players can be increased according to the regulations of the organizer. The game is divided into two halves, each half of 20 minutes, with a 10-minute intermission.

When the two teams have the same points at the end of the game, a 5-minute playoff will be played. If the score is still the same after 5 minutes, a 5-minute playoff will be played again until the winner is determined.

Each player is allowed 5 fouls each, and the fifth foul is out of the game. And cannot play again in the same game. A free throw is a shot taken without a defense as a penalty for the offending team.

Free throws are to stand behind the free throw line and shoot within 5 seconds of receiving the ball from the referee. After a shot, the player may not step over the free throw line until the ball touches the basket.
