BIGTIME TOURNEY RULES
Teams must play in the grade of their oldest
player...coaches found to knowingly be using ineligible players will be banned from our
events permanently. Prior to each teams first game they must fill out a player roster. Any
player who is not on the original roster cannot play for the rest of the tournament, so if
you know a player is not going to be able to play on Saturday but will be available on
Sunday be sure to put them on the original roster.
Current grade cards
for all team members should be made available upon request and failure to provide a players documentation could prohibit them from playing until such
documentation is provided. To protest a player or players on another team, coaches must
also provide grade documentation on each of their players.
Each of our two-day (Saturday &Sunday) tournaments have a four-game game guarantee,
with two pool play games on Saturday and at least two more games on Sunday. Our one-day
(either Saturday or Sunday) events have a three game round-robin. The champions get a $25
certificate off of the next BigTime Tournament, not a trophy or medals, as we're about
playing games and good competition at the best price possible...not "trophy
hunting". Don't delay your registration, as we are limited on the number of teams we can take for each of our events and we often reach
capacity in a short amount of time.
RULES - Each game has two
sixteen (16) minute halves with a moving clock until the last minute of the first half and
the last minute of the game, unless one team has a 15-point lead or more. The one-and-one
is in effect after seven fouls in a half, with the double bonus taking effect after ten
fouls. Full court pressure is not allowed after a team is
leading by 15 or more and other standard high school rules apply. Boys in grades 3-6 and
all girls grades will play with a 28.5 (women's size) inch ball, while boys in grades 7-12
play with a 29.5 inch (men's size) ball and each team is responsible for bringing their
own practice basketballs and one game ball as well.
We generally
have schedules out no later than the Tuesday evening prior to any
weekend event. Any team cancelling after schedules have been sent
out will not receive a refund.
