All games will consist of TWO 16-minute stop-time halves. Overtime periods
will be three minutes long.

All teams should bring their own warm-up balls. Teams will mutually agree to
use one of their warm-up balls during the game. Pre-game warm-ups will last
a minimum of FIVE minutes and the halftime break will be THREE minutes.

The first listed team in the draw is the home team and should wear the light
colored uniforms, unless one team does not have home and away color
uniforms. Teams may make arrangements among themselves to change this
guideline. Teams MUST bring both uniform tops to all games if they have
them.

All referees are allocated through the BCBOA. The tournament organizers do
not play any role in the allocation of officials for the games. 

All players will be allowed SIX PERSONAL FOULS before they are
disqualified. Bonus foul shots will be shot on the TENTH (two shots) team
foul. 

Teams will get TWO 60 second time-outs per half (no carry-over). One time-
out will be given out for each overtime period. Time-outs must be called
through the bench.

There are no restrictions on the use of zone presses and zone defenses in
any of the divisions.

Admission will be charged in all gyms each day ($5 adults, $2 for
students/seniors, under 13 free).

Team coaches are responsible for the conduct and supervision of their
players and fans/parents. Unacceptable behavior may result in the person
being banned from the gym for the remainder of the tournament.

We will NOT be using a shot clock. However, teams which deliberately stall
will be given a warning and forced to play on the first offence. On the second
and succeeding offences, the game will be stopped and the opposing team
will be awarded the ball on a turnover. We will be using an 10-second
backcourt count (8-second for girls) and an over-and-back centre line.

Pool ties will be determined by the following: a) head to head result, b) least
points against, c) coin toss.

All decisions made by the tournament director or site coordinator ARE FINAL!
