So, your saying you'll keep playing under any condition that is not explicity listed in 6-7 such as:
  • ball develops a leak and goes flat
  • net get stuck across the rim (and you see a ball bounce off of it)
  • backboard padding becomes dislodged and falls to the floor under the basket
  • the rim breaks
  • the backboard breaks
  • Debris on the court,
  • water on the court
  • lights outf
  • ire in the bleachers
  • etc.
all since you have no explicit rule that tell you to stop the game.
