COED LEAGUE- THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF
COED LEAGUES TO CHOOSE FROM IN OUR REGISTRATION:
1.
Co-Ed Competitive-
you will register
Co-Ed Competitive but you will play mens teams probably 3
times out of your 7 games & these games will be under
mens rules (reason: we have never had enough teams that
are both CoEd and Competitive and in fact, we find that
those types of teams have no isssue playing against mens
teams).
So how will we
determine the 'Championship team' from this CoEd Competitivedivision?Answer: at the end of the 2nd season we
will hold a 'tournmaent' for what we think are the top4
ranked Co-Ed Competitive teams. So even if your record is
3-4 because your playing against mens teams and only 2 co-ed
teams, if your coed competitive there is a high likelihood
you will make the CoEd championship tournament.
2.
Co-Ed
Recreational- you will play only Co-Ed Recreational
teams even if that means repeating matchups a 2nd or even a
3rd time within the same season. Possibly 1x per season- you
will play a mens team and be under mens rules for that game
(we will try to avoid that but occasionally 1 of our mens
teams might be at your evel and scheduling wise- it just
works out)... How will we
determine the 'championship team' from CoEd Recreational?
Answer: at the end of the 2nd season (Example:
in a Fall1 season and Fall2 season for example- the
championship tournament will be the last date of the Fall2
season) we will hold a 'tournmaent' for what we think are
the top 4 ranked Co-Ed teams.

RULES for when a COED team plays
against a COED team:
1. Roster rule-
a minimum of 2 women players are
required to be on your roster to sign up for COED league;
this being said, new for 2017 forward- the
wording of 'women' is now changed to 'non male
identifying' players. Your sex is determined by how
you represent yourself to the world. Anyone who represents
themselves or 'self idenitifies' as a non-male- for purposes
of this recreational league- will be deemed as a woman.
PortlandBasketball.com promotes gender inclusion- in that
you are able to play- as the gender that you self-identify
with.
2. Strict rule during
play- a maximum of
4 men- will be on the floor- for any game. This
means if a COED team shows up with NONE of their non-male
identifying players present, this team WILL play but with a
maximum of 4 players (versus the other COED team's five
players).
3. Policy-
we would like teams to put 2 non-male identifying players on
the floor- with 3 men- ideally but the official rule is
defined in #2 above.
4. Strict rule during
play- Blocked shots of
(non-male identifying players) by men- will result in automatic 2
points (goaltending). The only way a non-male identifying
player's shot can be blocked is if the male player- was
standing in a set position, arms up before the
(non-male identifying player) even began the initial part of
the shooting motion.
5. About the video below-
this explains how teams should sign up, how we schedule.
Replace the word 'women' in video below- with 'non-male
identifying player'.
