FIBA's new 3x3 rules tested in Romania

Bucharest, Romania is described by Sports Illustrated as the "Mecca of 3x3 Basketball." and it was the perfect place to try out FIBA's new 3x3 rules.
New 3x3 rules were tested
in Romania recently.

The main rule is in relation to personal fouls, which have now been eliminated.  Once a team has committed 7 fouls, the opponent gets 2 free throws.  Should the fouls exceed 10, the opponents get 2 free throws and regain ball possession.

Let's see how this new rule works here.  My personal take on this new rule, as long as it doesn't get in the way of a fast-paced game, I'm all for it.  I don't want to see the game come down to a "free-throw contest" to determine the winner.  I see 3x3 basketball as one that needs strategy and a good play to make it work.
