Each team will be guaranteed 4 games (3 pool, 1 tournament)

You will play every team in your division during pool play. Seeding for the elimination round will be determined World Cup Style.

• A win gets 2 points. A tie gets you 1 point. A loss is 0 points. The winner of each division will receive the top 7 seeds. Remaining seeds or tie breakers will be determined by total amount of points scored. 

Additionally, we will be hosting a few kids games from 12pm - 1pm

1st Possession: 1 player from each team will shoot from behind the 3 point arc to determine first possession.  

1 point will be awarded for each basket scored within the 3 point line, and 2 points will be awarded for a shot from behind the 3 point arc

The games will be first to 12 points, and win by 2

During the elimination round, the games are win by 2

Players have no individual foul limit, but if there are 3 fouls on 1 single possession, other team will be awarded 1 point

The Championship game will be played to 21 points

After each change of possession, the ball must be taken back behind the 3 point arc before a shot can be attempted.  If a team scores a basket without taking the ball back, the basket will be disallowed but the offending team will retain possession

After a basket, out- of- bounds, violation, or foul, the offense must “check” the ball with their opponent before play resumes and the ball must be passed in to start play

Players must call their own fouls and violations as necessary to keep the game under control.

All jump balls will be awarded to the defense

Substitutions may be made any time play is stopped.  Please do not sub excessively or use it as a stalling tactic.

Any participant may be removed for excessive contact, or causing physical altercations

If a team is not at the court at gametime,  it is an automatic forfeit

If a dispute cannot be settled (Disagreement on foul, or any possession argument) , the “Ball Never Lies” Rule will go in to affect.  One of the parties involved in the dispute will take a shot from the free throw line to decide who gets ball
