Rules

 

High school rules except the following:

 

Clock:

 

3rd-8th grade & 8th/9th girls - 16 minute halves

 

9th/10th/11th grade boys and girls 16 minute halves

 

(Coaches, at any time if we fall behind of the schedule, we may adjust the clock rules)


 

Clock will stop only on shooting fouls (when the shooting foul is announced by the officials),  time outs and the last TWO minutes of each half. Each team will get 5 time outs per GAME (no carry over’s). Overtime will be 2 minutes, with clock stopping the last minute. Each team will be giving an additional time out in over time. Clock will not stop at all, if a team has a 25 point or greater lead!!!!!



 

Tie Breakers: If teams are tied after pool play or round robin play.

 

1st tie breaker is head to head play, 2nd is point differential( if three or more teams are tied with the same record or teams have not played head to head. Maximum of 15 points per game), 3rd is defensive points, 4th is offensive points, 5th is a coin flip.

 

Pool play will determine where you play for bracket play, not Panhandle Basketball. We are not responsible to change the schedule because you have multiple teams or coach multiple teams! There is a possible they may not play at the same venue and or play at the same time. Its your responsibility to make sure they are able to play! 


 

Game Ball: 6th grade and under boys will use a 28.5 ball. 7th Grade and up will use a 29.5 ball

 

 

Home Teams (are listed first) WILL be responsible to keep the Official Book!!!!


 

No Press Rule applies if a team has a 20 point lead. First time is a warning, second is a technical.( All ages except for High School)

Player Protest

A protest done prior to the game in question, will be the normal fee of $100. A protest after a game will be a fee of $350.

Once the fee is paid, the player verification process will begin and will be handled solely by the tournament director, or a staff member appointed by the tournament director. Coaches, spectators,and players from opposing teams, are not allowed to approach, any player coach or parent to discuss player eligibility!  Doing so, may result in immediately removal from the tournament!  The tournament director will have the final say. If the protest is won, the $200 will be returned and the player(s) will be disqualified and all games played to that point will be forfeited( See above rule). If the protest is lost, the $200 protest fee will be forfeited.
