How many fouls disqualify you from the game?

Don't Foul Out!

In the pros, you are disqualified from playing in the game on your 6th foul. But for everyone else, you will be disqualified on your 5th foul. Your goal on defense should be to make "stops", not fouls. Stop the other team from scoring without fouling.

No, unfortunately it is 5 and your out. I would like to see them go to the NBA rule of 6 fouls and your out because nobody wants to see star players on the bench.
