I worked a couple of AAU games this weekend that were supposedly using NCAA womens rules.

I watched the game before mine and noticed when one of the officials called a backcourt violation, the table buzzed him over and the violation was not enforced. I asked the official after the game was over about the call, and he explained he was told because there was a shot clock, there was no backcourt rule. I asked two different people at the table and was told it was a tounament rule. I have never officiated any game or tournament that had this rule.

Have any of you ever had a game that used this rule? Are NCAA womens backcourt rules different then Federation rules once front court is established?
