  2. Enjoy the tournament and display good sportsmanship. Respect the game, your team and your opponents.
  3. Please keep all cheering in a positive manner and show good sportsmanship. Please cheer “for” your team. Please do not cheer “against” the opposing team (For example: Don’t yell “miss it” when the opposing team is shooting the ball, or don’t cheer when a player on the opposing team is called for a traveling violation, makes a bad pass etc.).
  4. No bouncing of balls on the sidelines while games are in progress is permitted. Please keep young children from running through the facilities. Everyone (especially young children) must remain in the gym during the games.

Anyone breaking these rules faces a technical foul, possible disqualification from the tournament and a potential fine. Our officials have been instructed to have “zero tolerance” for misconduct by teams and spectators.
  6. Any player, coach or spectator ejected from a game will not be allowed to participate in the remainder of the tournament.
