Roster changes cannot be made once the tournament begins.
Individual game winners are determined by first team to score 30 or 40 points, depending on the age bracket. For competitive purposes, the Games Committee and/or the Activity Coordinator reserve the right to combine age groups in divisions where a sufficient number of teams are not entered.
The tournament format will be determined by the number of teams entered in each age bracket. For most tournament formats, teams will be guaranteed a minimum of three games. In general, NCAA rules apply. However some rules have been adapted for this competition. Balls provided.
