Tournament officials reserve the right to restructure divisions if deemed necessary. Brackets were done by Tournament Builder computer program. Tournament may progress ahead of schedule; teams must be ready to play as soon as the game preceding theirs is finished or forfeit the game. If a forfeit occurs, the forfeited game will count towards the three game guarantee. Brackets will not be re-done for a forfeited game.

3. A coin flip will determine first possession. Game ends when one team reaches 15 points or 15 minutes continuous clock expires. Tied games will be determined by free throws. Each player will get a shot. If a team does not have 4 players, then one player will shoot twice. The team with the most free throws wins. A tie in number of free throws made in one round of overtime will produce a second overtime. Overtime periods will continue until a team wins.

4. One time-out per team. No time outs in last 2 minutes of game. Time-out 30 seconds.

5. Made goals from behind the arc count two. Made goals inside the arc count one.

6. Fouls in the act of shooting and after 6 team fouls will be rewarded 1 free throw; it may be a 1 point or 2 point try. If a one point free throw is missed, the ball goes to the offensive team. If a two point free throw is missed, the ball goes to defensive team.

7. Ball must be checked at the top of the key after made baskets or dead ball situations. The ball must be cleared outside the 2-point arc on steals or defensive rebounds before a team may attack the basket.

8. Younger divisions my dribble the ball in rather than throwing it in. This is up to the discretion of the referee.

9. Jump balls are rewarded to defensive side.

10. Substitution must take place when the ball is dead or following made goals when the ball is being checked. You must let the referee know you are changing players.

11. Each court will have a referee and a scorer to regulate play. Referee's calls are final. These people are volunteers, so give them the respect they deserve.

12. A tied round robin will be broken by head to head first, then by defensive points allowed.
