Shot Clock / 3x3

12-second shot clock for 3x3 basketball

FIBA 3x3 timing: 12 seconds per possession.

Preset: 12 seconds. Change it anytime.

The rule

FIBA 3x3 uses a 12-second shot clock. Where a venue has no shot clock, the referee counts the last 5 seconds aloud.

At official FIBA 3x3 events the shot clock is built into the backstop. For practice, club tournaments and school events, a screen next to the court does the job.

In practice

Twelve seconds is short. Practicing with the real clock makes the check-ball, clear and attack rhythm automatic.

Running several courts? Open one display per court; each gets its own remote.

Want reps on the clock? Drill mode in Pro runs the clock, the rest and the next rep for you. Ideas: shot clock drills.

On match day

Training is the default: free, with the times you choose. For games, match mode in Pro follows FIBA 3x3 timing. The reset buttons become 12 (new possession). With the game clock on screen, the shot clock turns off when less game time than shot clock time remains.

Questions
