FIBA Official Basketball Rules (OBR) are approved by the FIBA Central Board and they are available for the entire basketball family.
According to the established procedure, the FIBA’s Rules Advisory Group (RAG), comprised of basketball and refereeing experts, studies closely all proposals for the rule changes before submitting them to the FIBA Technical Commission for the final review. The key stakeholders - coaches (WABC - World Association of Basketball Coaches), FIBA Players Commission, NBA and NCAA representatives - are also involved in the analysis of the rule changes.
Normally the new edition of the OBR becomes valid starting as of 1 October of any given year .
The Official Basketball Rules comprise two sections: a) Basketball Rules and b) Basketball Equipment. They are published in two separate documents.
