NEW RULE CHANGE!

Alright, so the BJIM Scouts decided to incorporate this rule to help make games more interesting, so here it is:

If a game has 30 seconds or less, with a 5 point lead/deficit or less (2 possessions), then a shooting foul that is made ("and 1") has 1 live free throw. A non-shooting foul will consist of 1 automatic point and also 1 live free throw. A shooting foul that is missed will stay the same at 2 automatic points. Also, the clock will stop for the free throws, and it will also stop when the ball goes out of bounds. Remember, all of this will only happen with 30 seconds or less, and a 5 point lead/deficit or less (2 possessions). We're hoping this rule will make the games more interesting, especially in playoff time.
