Code of Basketball Rules

Basketball rules govern how the game is played, focusing on scoring, movement, and fairness. Teams try to score by shooting the ball into the opponent's hoop while preventing them from doing the same. Players must dribble the ball while moving and stay within specific boundaries on the court. The game is divided into quarters, with a team’s score determined by successful shots. Violations like traveling, double dribbling, or fouls (illegal physical contact) result in penalties such as free throws or possession changes. The rules ensure the game’s flow, fairness, and safety for all players.
