53. Refusal to Play
A team shall forfeit the game if it refuses to play after being instructed
to do so by the Referee. If the team to which the game is forfeited is
ahead, the score at the time of forfeiture shall stand. If this team is
not ahead, the score shall be recorded as 2 to 0 in its favour.

54. Playing Time
The game shall consist of two halves of 20 minutes each, with an
interval of 10 minutes between halves.
55. Captains To Be Notified
Captains shall be notified three minutes before the termination of the
interval between halves. If either team is not on the floor ready to
play within one minute after the Referee calls play, either at the begin-
ning of the second half or after time has been taken out for any reason,
the ball shall be put in play in the same manner as if both teams were
on the floor ready to play, and the absent team shall forfeit the game.
56. Tie Score
If the score is a tie at the expiration of the second half, play shall
be continued for an extra period of 5 minutes or as many such periods
of 5 minutes as may be necessary to break the tie. Before the first
extra period the team shall toss for baskets and shall change baskets
at the beginning of each additional extra period. An interval of 2
minutes shall be allowed before each extra period. At the beginning
of each extra period, the ball shall be put in play at the centre.
57. Time-out
Time-out occurs and the game watch shall be stopped when an
Official signals:
(a) a foul,
(6) a jump-ball,
(c) unusual delay in getting a dead ball into play,
(d) suspension of play for an injury, or for removal of a player,
such removal being ordered by an Official.
(e) suspension of play for any reason, ordered by the Officials.
During the last five minutes of play of the second half and during
all extra periods, the game watch shall be stopped every time the Officials
blow their whistles.
58. Request for a Charged Time-out
A Coach has the right to request a charged time-out. He shall do so
by going in person to the Scorer and asking clearly for a "time-out,"
making the proper conventional sign with his hands. Electrical devices
enabling Coaches to request a time-out without leaving their places
may be used. Such devices may not, under any circumstances, be used
to request a player substitution.
