1. No more than 60% of the points can be scored in the paint (excluding fastbreak points). e.g. If you score 100 and 65 are in the paint but 10 of those are fastbreak points then it's fine. However if you score 70 PIP and only 6 are from fastbreaks you will have to replay the match unless both players violate the rule. This was changed from 50% as 2nd chance points can't be tracked on the league website.

2. Full court press is allowed only in 4th quarter.

3. You cannot draw charges unless they are inside the 3pt line.

4. A maximum of 25 3pt shots can be taken per game.

5. You can only pass to shooters once you are past the half court line unless you gain possession from a steal or blocked shot. That is, points in transition are allowed but no cherrypicking EXCEPT off steals and blocked shots. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcJ-EnqhIH4 at 5:42 to 6:01 for what transition points are. An example of cherrypicking is shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYDIA0aocOo.

In the first video, both teams had the passer past half court before passing it off to another player for a shot (can be layup, dunk or jumpshot) which is ok. However, in the second video the pass is from behind half court and close to a full court pass (paint to paint) this is not allowed.

6. No more than of 3 pump fakes can be used before shooting. i.e. you can pump fake 3 times and shoot but not 4 times and shoot.

The draft will be taking place on January 23rd, 2011 at 3pm Sydney time.
