TECHNICAL NEWS Also in the Final Phase of the tournament new technical rules are applied on an experimental basis. As for last year, the rule of Target Score: at the first dead ball, under 4 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the Target Score of the game is identified by adding 8 points to the team that at that moment has the higher score. That becomes the score to reach or exceed for both teams to win the game. From that moment on, the remaining time of the game is reset and only the 24'' devices are used. Furthermore, the technical changes already tested in the previous stages of the group stage in Varese and Rimini will be confirmed. The only change this year will be that during the Target Score the bonus points and quick throw-ins rules will not be applied.
