GEE2K does not call carrying/palming as a violation.
This means:
Players may use modern “pro” hesitation moves.
Traditional palming/carrying is allowed unless it becomes excessive and creates an unfair advantage (referee discretion).
Everything else below is enforced:
Traveling
Double dribble
3 seconds in the paint (on offense)
Backcourt violation
Goaltending (if the league decides to implement per season)
GEE2K is an up-tempo league. Teams must actively try to score.
No stalling / holding the ball.
Referee gives one warning, then begins a 10-second “must attempt a shot” count.
Failure = turnover.
Game starts with jump ball
Possession arrow used for held balls
Subs only on dead balls
No hanging on the rim
Allowed only if preventing injury
Fighting:
Automatic ejection + Kicked out of league – NOT THE PLACE FOR THAT
Arguing, disrespect, profanity toward refs or players:
Can result in tech or ejection
Referee decisions are final
Zero-tolerance policy for racism, harassment, or unsafe behavior
Tied playoff standings:
Decided by a 3-point shootout
Tied playoff game after 2OT (1v1):
Also decided by a 3-point shootout
GEE2K is currently in its Beta Season, which means the league is actively testing gameplay formats, rules, mechanics, and competitive structure.
Throughout the season, rules may be adapted, clarified, or updated as we gather feedback from players, referees, and staff.
All adjustments are made with one goal in mind:
To build the best, most authentic, and most competitive version of GEE2K for the official 2K1 Season.
Your participation helps shape the future of the league.
We appreciate your flexibility, feedback, and commitment to helping us create something special.
