Players age is based on Grade Only. All coaches MUST have each player’s report card on hand at each tournament in case of a protest. If you cannot provide a report card with the players name, with a date on the report card to prove that it is a current report card, then the player must sit out until proof is given.

The written protest must be submitted to the Tournament Commissioner-in-Charge. All decisions of the Eligibility Committee shall be final. Protest on eligibility must be made before the game begins. Protest cannot be made on a player’s eligibility during a game or after a game is completed.

Clock Keeper and Score Table

For scoreboard purposes the team in light colored jerseys will be the home team and will sit to the right of the scorers table (when facing the court).

For scoreboard purposes the team in dark colored jerseys will be the visiting team and will sit to the left of the scorers table (when facing the court).

On the game schedule, the team listed first or on top is ‘home’ and will wear light colored jerseys. Each team is responsible for their own jerseys… bring 2 different colored jerseys or reversible 2-colored jerseys with you to each game. Each team must provide their own warm-up balls. The home team provides the game ball.

Pool Play Tie Breaker

1. In any situation where two (2) teams are tied, head-to-head competition between the teams will determine the winner.

2. If more than two (2) teams tie, a point differential tiebreaker will be applied. The point differentials of the teams involved in the tie are totaled. Teams are then ranked according to the sum of the point differential – with the highest number placing above the second highest point total and the third highest point total next. (The maximum that you can beat a team and still gain an advantage is 15 points.)

3. If two (2) teams are still tied after the application of the formula, go back to rule number 1 to break the tie.

4. If more than two (2) teams are still tied after the application of the formula, the point differentials of the team(s) not involved in the tie are added, and the results recalculated.

5. The score of all forfeits shall be 15-0

6. If there is still a three-way tie, a three way flip of the coin will determine team placement
