How many innings are there in an official basketball game?

Answer 1

It all depends on the score. In most softball leagues, if there is a significant difference in the score (10 run rule) the game will be called complete in less than the standard 7 innings. Otherwise a 7 inning game takes 7 innings to complete.

Answer 2

41/2 innings if you are the home team and are winning after the top of the fourth is over. If you are the visitors then a full 5 innings is needed. But the simple answer is 4 complete

Answer 3

In a nine inning game, to become an official game, it must go 5 1/2 innings if the home team is ahead, or 6 complete innings if the home team is behind.

Answer 4

Basketball plays 4 quarters not innings. 12 minutes per quarter.

Answer 5

There are nine innings in a game.

Answer 6

At least five for the losing team.
