Q: Are there any special quirks to 3DL rules?

A: Yes. The rules can be found here. The biggest quirks are the following rules: 1) No checks after a made basket (promotes more action). 2) A point and possession is awarded on and after the 7th foul by a team in the half. 3) In the Dynasty League & Tournaments, we use an Elam Ending or a target score so that teams don't waste the clock at the end and the game ends on a made basket.

Q: Do parents really not have to work the scoreboard or scorebook? What about paying a gate fee?
