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.
