4CITY LEAGUE BASKETBALL INFORMATION
Coaches are responsible for advising their players of the following information:
Welcome to Basketball season! Please provide PRCS with a current daytime phone number
and email. Standings and other important team information may be found on the Parks and
Recreation website at www.cityofracine.org.
ADDITIONAL PLAYERS
Additional team members may be added up to September 24th. Mid-season registration will be
November 22rd to December 28th. Two additional players may be added during mid-season
signups. The player fee and a completed/signed player card are due at the time of registration.
PLAYER FEES, RELEASES AND TRANSFERS
Player fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Prior to the season, if a player must be released, a player release card must be signed by the
team manager. A player may transfer only if the team is left with seven or more players. If the
team will be left with less than seven players, a new player must be signed before the
transferring player can be released.
Once a season begins, players may only transfer to another team during mid-season signup. A
player may not transfer to any team in any league when that team has a better percentage of
wins & losses than the team he/she is leaving. A transfer of a player during mid-season signup
is considered a mid-season addition.
NO GRACE PERIOD
A team must have the minimum required legal players at game time or the game will be
forfeited. The official's watch will read official game time. A team is only allowed two (2) forfeits
a season and must pay a $25.00 forfeit fee in order to resume play in the league. A team will
be dropped from the league after the second occurrence.
GAME POSTPONEMENTS AND CANCELLATIONS
No postponements will be allowed in the 2017-2018 season. If you need a specific game time
on a particular date, please submit request with signed player cards and fees.
Important: Teams must be available after league play is finished to play any cancelled or
postponed games that have a bearing on the league title. League championships that result
in a tie will be determined by head to head league play.
5All rules concerning postponements, forfeits, eligibility, protests, transfers, etc. are included in
the PRCS “Rules and Regulations” handbook. Managers and players should familiarize
themselves with the rules.
ABUSIVE AND PROFANE BEHAVIOR
Any team personnel (players, coaches, or managers) using abusive or profane language will
be subject to ejection from the game. In the event of a dispute, only the offensive and defensive

bench during a dispute will be subject to ejection from the game. A legal manager is the person
listed on the team registration card.

7PLAYERS AND SUBSTITUTIONS – BLOOD RULE
A player, coach or official who is bleeding or who has blood on their uniform shall be prohibited
from participating further in the game until appropriate treatment can be administered. If
medical care or treatment is administered in a reasonable length of time, the individual will not
have to leave the game. The length of time considered reasonable is left to the official’s
judgment. Uniform rule violations will not be enforced if a uniform change is required. The
official shall:
1. Stop the game and allow treatment if the injured player would affect the
continuation of the game.
2. Immediately call the coach/manager to the injured player.

wound is covered or an excessively bloody uniform is changed.

TO ALL ADULT BASKETBALL MANAGERS
Recent incidents at some gyms have prompted the following new rule: Players must leave all
Racine Unified buildings by 9:00 p.m. This means no warm-up. Players are asked to shower
and exit the building as quickly as possible following the last game.
Managers are being asked to help enforce this rule and prevent further problems. Failure to do
so may result in the cancelation of PRCS facility use permits and a reduction in the number of
teams allowed to register for City basketball leagues.
During inclement weather, please do not wear outside shoes on the gym floors. Please be
considerate and promote safety by wiping up any puddles left on the floor.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
8EJECTIONS
Any player or manager ejected from a game (city league or tournament) is subject to City of
Racine rules. To ensure better sportsmanship and conduct among managers, player and
spectators, the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Commission has set the following
rules, which apply until the game official and/or player leave the premises.
(1) Players, coaches and spectators who are dismissed for unsportsmanlike
conduct, such as cussing, over-arguing, foul gestures, etc.:
1st offense: One (1) game suspension.
2nd offense: Two (2) game suspension.
3rd offense: Thirty (30) day suspension.
4th offense: One (1) year suspension.

another player will be suspended from playing:
1st offense: Thirty (30) day suspension.

(3) Players, managers, or spectators that make a verbal threat to an umpire, official,
referee or anyone associated with the program:

2nd offense: One (1) year player and spectator suspension.

referee:
1st offense: Suspended indefinitely with review after three years.
When a player receives a suspension and plays in more than one league, the suspension will
apply to player participation in all respective league play.
A suspension will be increased if the violation is severe enough to warrant such action to be
taken.

league tournament, next sport he/she participates in, or the next season, whichever comes
first.
A suspended or ejected player must leave the gym immediately. The game will not continue
until suspended player, coach or spectator has left the premises. Failure will result in game
forfeiture.
Any player or coach who has been suspended for one (1) year or more and has served his/her
suspension will be placed on a one (1) year probationary status with the condition that if he/she
is ejected from any game played, he/she will be placed on indefinite suspension.
Any spectator who has been suspended for one (1) year or more and returns to the premises
after serving suspension will be placed on a one (1) year probationary status with the condition
that any unsportsmanlike conduct exhibited will result in an indefinite suspension from all
