These games also have a halftime that lasts 10 minutes. If games are tied at the end of regulation, they also play a 5 minute overtime period. Junior high basketball games do not have a shot clock. There are also some states that have a mercy rule that is the same as the high school mercy rule for that state.
As discussed in the high school section, once a team gets up by a certain amount of points the game clock may become a running clock and only stop between quarters or timeouts depending on the state rules.
A youth basketball game usually takes approximately an hour to play. This can obviously vary dramatically based on the rules of the youth league. Many youth league games consist of 2 halves that are 20 minutes each in length. Unlike other levels of basketball, most youth leagues use a running clock, which means it never stops except for halftime and timeouts.
When leagues use a running clock, the length of game becomes very easy to predict. Running clocks make for structured game lengths, which means games start on time, and makes things much easier for parents to plan for. If your youth league does not use a running clock, that is when the length of the game can vary dramatically. Most leagues have a halftime that lasts for 10 minutes. Each team is given 1 timeout per half and is usually 30 seconds, although it will likely last closer to a minute.
So if each team calls both of their timeouts that will raise the time to roughly 54 minutes. With kids, there will be a lost minute here or there as well, and that is where the the game will push close to an hour in length. You may want to check with a youth league official or the team coach to see if the teams keep score and what they do for ties. If they do keep score and they play overtime, games will obviously take longer.
Not only that, the other games may not start on time. If you are planning to watch a game on TV, there will likely be pre and post-game show that will add to the time of the telecast.
If you are interested in watching those, or if you are hosting a watch party and you expect that your guests will be interested, you will need to plan accordingly. These pre and post-game shows are more common during playoff games.
Most pre-game shows start 30 minutes before the tip. These shows will usually consist of analysts who break down the game and help you understand key statistics or matchups to watch out for during the game.
The post-game shows are usually shorter, like around minutes, and will consist of interviews with players and the pre-game crew breaking down what happened and why it happened. If you are going to watch a playoff game, you will want to plan for more time than you do for a regular season game. The average playoff game lasts about minutes longer than a regular season game does. In the international game, the length of quarters is 10 minutes.
An NBA basketball game consists of regulation and possibly overtime quarters. In regulation, there are four quarters that last 12 minutes each.
This means that there are 48 minutes in regulation. If the score is equal at the end of regulation, extra quarters of game time are played to determine the winning team. In the NBA, overtime quarters last five minutes. The team with the most points at the end of the overtime quarter is the winner. The duration of a basketball quarter at the international level is 10 minutes.
There is a two-minute gap between each quarter in the international leagues. These quarters are two minutes less than the duration of a quarter of basketball played in the NBA. Additionally, these quarters in total have the same amount of time as two 20 minute halves in college basketball.
Coaches call timeouts to make a substitution, call a play or stop the game for a while. In NBA, each team has 7 timeouts. There are 2 mandatory timeouts in each quarterly period. If no team has taken a timeout prior to minutes, the Official Scorer mandatorily takes it at the first dead ball and gives it to the home team.
If no timeouts are taken prior to minutes, the Official Scorer takes it and gives it to the team not previously charged.
A timeout is only granted to the player or the coach of a team when the ball is dead or in control of a player on the team making the request.
A request at any other time is not granted. Each team is allowed two timeouts in the Overtime period. This website uses cookies to improve your experience.
