Study Notes

Field of Play

All boundary lines are included in the playing area: side lines and back lines are part of the play; forbidden zone lines belong to the respective zones.
Ceilings in sports halls are out of the playing area; any equipment above 7 meters is also excluded.
A 1-meter unobstructed area around the playing field is required; 2 meters is recommended.

The Rebound Frame

The rebound frame and net must conform to FITB standards.
The frame should be fixed yet movable to account for player collisions.

The Ball

The ball specifications must meet FITB standards:
- For men's matches: circumference of 58-60 cm, weight between 425-475 grams.
- For women's matches: circumference of 54-56 cm, weight between 325-400 grams.
- Mixed matches use women's standards for the ball.

The Players

A team consists of up to 12 players, with a maximum of 7 on the field at once and 5 as substitutes.
If 4 or fewer players are present, the game is forfeited with a score of 0-30.
Players must not use performance-enhancing substances; finger tape for medical reasons is permitted, along with knee and elbow pads.
Jewelry worn by players is prohibited; the final decision on wearing it lies with the main referee.

The Referees and Official Table

International matches involve 3 referees (one main and two field referees) and 2 officials (timekeeper and scorekeeper).
Referees oversee adherence to the rules and make decisions to ensure game flow.
The main referee has full authority, regulates substitutions, and manages the official score table.
Referees’ uniforms must distinguish them from players; they carry a whistle, yellow, and red cards.

Official Table Responsibilities

The timekeeper manages the official clock and score display.
The scorekeeper maintains the score sheet and notes any infractions or player injuries.
Officials’ uniforms should differ from those of the referees.

Duration of Matches

A match lasts three periods of 15 minutes each, allowing a 5-minute break between periods.
The official clock does not stop unless the referees call for a stoppage in cases such as injury or malfunctioning equipment.
The game ends immediately at the whistle, nullifying any ongoing plays.

Faults

A player commits a fault by making improper contact with a defender or violating positioning rules within the forbidden zone.
Points are awarded to the defending team if the attacking player misses the frame, causes the ball to fall out of play, or interferes with the rebound inappropriately.

Determining the Winner

The team with the highest score at the match's end wins.
Extra time is played in the event of a tie, consisting of 5-minute periods until a winner emerges.
Disrespectful behavior is subject to sanctions, including warnings and card expulsions depending on severity.

Sanctions for Disrespectful Behavior

Sanctions are sequential: oral warnings, breakdowns for the opposing team, yellow cards (warnings), and red cards (expulsions).
Accumulating two yellow cards results in an automatic expulsion.
The expelled individuals must leave the play area and cannot participate further in the match.
