TOURNAMENT RULES...

 

                                For all RiseUp Tournament Series Events see Standard RiseUp Tournament Series Rules below...

 

  1. All teams are guaranteed a minimum of 3 to 4 scheduled games (See tournament details). Team awards will be given for 1st place in each division.
  2. Players may play on only 1 team within a tournament age group but on no more than two teams per event. A player’s eligibility will be based on & verified by a current report card, if requested. Players may play “up” in an older age group. This means that an eligible player in the 5th grade division may play up in the 6th grade division, but may NOT play on two 5th or two 6th grade teams during the same event.
  3. Regulation High School Activities Association rules will be followed with the following exceptions:
    1. 18-running Clock for All Divisions with a 2 minute half time. If a team is ahead by 20 points or more, the clock will continue to run (in the second half only) until the point differential is back to <12 then the clock will stop in the last 2-minutes of the 2nd half only.
    2. In addition, the clock will stop on all technical fouls.
    3. Teams with a 20+ point lead are not allowed to press over half-court.
      1. The first violation will be a warning. The second & all subsequent violations will result in a technical foul being assessed to the bench if the officials deem it intentional.
    4. 3-minute warm-up & 2-minute half time unless the Tournament Director / Gym Monitor deem it necessary to shorten these times to get the tournament back on schedule.
    5. Game time is forfeit time. Games may start early to keep tournament on schedule if both coaches agree.
    6. Jerseys need only have a number on the back with no number restrictions.
    7. Two time-outs per half.  :30 second time-outs only. Time outs are not carried over to the second half or to any overtime period(s).
    8. Referee may stop the game clock within reason. Intentionally wasting time to shorten the game can be punished by a technical foul. This does not mean a team cannot use a delay offense at anytime they choose
    9. Teams will shoot double bonus on the 10th team foul. No one & one on the 7th foul, except for in the High School & 17U Division only.
  4. Tiebreaker procedure:
    1. If there is a 2-way tie based on wins-losses, then head-to-head results will be used.
    2. If there is a 3-way tie based on wins-losses, then a point differential system will be used based on cumulative margin of victory for all games played will be used (15-points per game is maximum).
    3. If there is a 3-way tie based on wins-losses and also a subsequent 2-way tie based on the point differential system above, then head-to-head between the 2 teams will be used to determine which team gets the higher position.
  5. Overtimes will be 2 minute with 2 minute stop clock rules on the last minute only. The clock stops on all dead balls during an overtime in the last minute only
    1. Teams will receive one :30 second timeout during the overtime period.
