Here is how it works and a different rule:

• During each game, a team can win up to seven standings points - three points for winning the game, and one point for each quarter in which they outscore their opponent. The teams with the greatest number of standings points at the end of the year go to the playoffs.
  
• A player cannot foul out of the game - after a player's sixth personal foul, the opposing team receives an automatic free throw.
