Measurement will be made without shoes.
Teams are limited to 6 t-shirts (5 players and 1 coach). No exceptions.

RULES AND GUIDELINES:

All classes will play a double elimination tournament or pool play to determine medals. Some divisions may be combined with other divisions if there are not enough entries for competition within a division.
All games must start with three players on each team. Two players can complete a game.
A five-minute grace period for a team’s first scheduled game of the tournament will be allowed. All other games will start at the scheduled time. A short warm-up time will be allowed if time permits, however teams may be required to start play as soon as the previous game has been completed.
Games will end when the first team scores 16 points or after 20 minutes, whichever comes first. First possession of the game will be decided by a coin toss.
Scoring:
Free throw: 1 point
Baskets made outside the 20’ line: 2 points
Baskets made inside the 20’ line: 1 point

The three-second lane rule will be used.
Each team will be allowed two 45-second time-outs, but the game clock will not stop. During the last three minutes of the game there will be no timeouts.
Player substitutions during the game are unlimited, but can only be made during dead-ball situations.
The ball must be “taken back” on each change of possession. Take back line will be the two-point line. Both the ball and the player must go beyond the two-point line; failure to do so will result in loss of possession.
All in-bounding after dead balls or change of possession shall be behind the two-point line at mid-court. The ball must be checked by an opposing player and passed to a teammate to initiate play.
Alternating possession will apply to all jump ball situations.
A player fouled on a missed basket will have two free throws to make one. (exception-behind three point arch the player gets two shots to make two.) If basket is good, player gets one free throw. Once in double bonus, player gets two free throws to make two.
A flagrant and/or deliberate foul, as determined by the court official, will result in a free throw attempt by the team that was fouled. Any player may shoot a free throw awarded because of a flagrant or deliberate foul. The fouled team shall also retain possession of the ball. Two flagrant fouls committed by the same player will result in automatic ejection from the tournament.
Court officials will officiate and ensure that the games are played fairly and without excessive aggressiveness. They will interpret rules and settle all disputes. Officials will have the final say. Verbal abuse and/or physical contact with a court official will not be tolerated. All court officials will be trained and experienced basketball officials.
National Federation of High School Rules will apply for all situations not covered by Bluegrass State Game Rules.
