Celebrate basketball culture & play at Ball Don't Lie: 5v5 Target Score Basketball Tournament at BallMatics inspired by our pals in the CEBL!
What is the Target Score Format?
The Target Score Format (other wise known as ELAM Ending) popularized by the CEBL, is a basketball format where the game clock is turned off in the final minutes, and teams play to a target score instead of relying on time limits. This method is designed to ensure a more exciting and competitive finish.
For a greater understanding of the Target Score format as used by the Scarborough Shooting Stars and Brampton Honey Badgers of the CEBL, please click here.
TOURNAMENT DETAILS:
This is a men's 5v5 recreational basketball tournament. All teams play 4 x 20 minute games guaranteed. Listed below is the format for the JAM Sports 5v5 Target Score Format
Games will consist of two 10-minute halves followed by the ELAM ending.
Field goals will be counted by 2's and 3's.
As soon as the games have been instructed to begin, the time clock will begin to count down. The halves will be seperated by a 1 min break.
At the end of the second half, a whistle will be blown to issue a 1 min timeout where the target score will be announced. The target score is determined by adding 7 points to the leading teams score. After the 1-minute break, the game resumes but the clock is turned off. The first team to hit the target score wins!
For example, if TEAM A has scored 40 points and is trailing TEAM B who scored 43 points at the 20-minute mark, the target score will be set for 50 points. The clock will be shut off after the 1-minute timeout and both teams will compete score 50 points before their opponent.
All games are self-officiated. JAM Sports staff will score keep and will be designated linesmen for any 3-point attempts.

This tournament is self-officiated so play hard and play together. For any contested violations or fouls, players can agree to shoot for possession - BALL DON'T LIE.
