The Game

Contestants will play a schoolyard style game on the honor system

Baskets are worth 1 - "Game Point" Played to 5 or 7  - Win by 2

"Game point" will be decided based on low or high Contestant sign-ups.                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Many sign ups = "Game Point" to 5 while a Lower amount of sign ups = "Game Point" to 7

Coin Flip - decides opening posession

Ball taken out at top of the key after each posession

1 out of bound zone - midcourt - (3) walls are in play

No take backs - straight up for points - make it take it

Players call their own fouls & violations & decide out of bounds.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   30 seconds to decide - then coin flip. Game will move quickly. Be ready.

If rules of "Straight Up" are broken by a player costing opponent a point, referee will step in and award 1 point to player that was affected by opponent breaking rule.

If a player is overly agressive or abusive the following action can take place:                                                                                                                                                                                                           Player can be warned, a point may be subtracted or given to their opponent.                                                                                                                                                                                                             Disqualification is also possible. No Foul shots.  

Referee will decide foul - take away or issue point.

Choosing opponents - Who plays Who

Players will be given a number the day they sign-up. That number will also remain on their sign-up sheet. At the tournaments opening all contestants numbers will enter into a pool. Referees will pick names randomly which will decide who plays who. Winning players (numbers) will then be re-entered back into the pool to again be chosen for round two, three and there-on until there are two finalists left which will lead to the winner of each tournament.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Both Tournament winners then enter into the finals where they will play each other - GAME POINT TO 11 - determining the OVERALL Winner of the Tournament.

1st place winner = Trophy for Tournament 1                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 1st place winner = Trophy for Tournament 2

WINNERS OF TOURNAMENTS 1 & 2 WILL PLAY EACH OTHER DECIDING THE "OVERALL WINNER" OF THE TOURNAMENT - GAME POINT TO 11.
