Coaches and Players – Know the Rules

If you enter these events, you must know the rules.  We always have a lot of participants and a limited amount of time to run through the eliminations.  We will only do a quick rule review, then we start.

  1. If a player enters the eliminations and makes the Final 4, the player is expected to participate in the Final 4 on Sunday.
  2. The player will be given a chance to participate in any of the eliminations even if the player’s team is playing when the specialty event is scheduled and the player’s game is not finished yet. We will fit the player in right after the player’s game ends.
  3. Please let a Tourney Director know in advance, if there are any time conflicts.

A.  ELIGIBILTY
