TOURNAMENT RULES

1.     All teams will play in a pool to be seeded into a single elimination

bracket.  Seeding will be determined in the following order:  best record, head-to-head, least amount of points given up, most points scored, and finally we will flip a coin.

2.     Games will be played until one team scores 15 points or more.  If no team has scored 15 points after 15 minutes of play, the team with the lead will be declared the winner.  Championship games will be played to 21 points with a 20-minute time limit.  Teams must win by two in every game.

3.     A standard field goal is worth one point; two points will be awarded for baskets made from behind the “take-back” line.

4.     Each team is allowed one time out per game (one minute in length).  Clock will stop for timeouts and for injuries.

5.     Game time is forfeit time.

6.     Boys will use a boys basketball and girls will use a girls basketball.

7.     Teams will flip a coin to determine first possession.  Jump balls will be alternating possessions.

8.     The ball must be taken back on each change of possession (defensive rebound, made basket, air ball, stolen ball or turnover).

9.     “Taking back” means that both feet of the ball handler are behind the check line.  Failure to do so will result in a loss of possession.

10.                          The opposing team must check in the ball after a made basket or dead-ball situation.  Once the ball is “checked” the ball is live, the player can shoot, dribble or pass.

11.                          Game balls will be provided.

12.                          Awards will be given to the top team in each division.

13.                          All games must start and finish with at least two players.

14.                          Player fouls out of the game with five fouls.

15.                          Substitution can only be made on check-ins and officials are to be notified.

16.                          If a player scores and is fouled, that team will retain possession and the basket will count.

17.                          All games will have officials.  Please be considerate.

18.                          If a player is fouled while shooting and misses the basket, the offensive team will retain possession and must check the ball in.

19.                          Make sure game scores are correct.

20.                          Any player/team involved in fighting or continuous misconduct will be disqualified from the tournament.  That includes abusive behavior, flagrant fouls or rough play.
