2024 Fall: Tournament Structure

Structure

• Current Structure is to be determined.  Clubs will have the opportunity to play 2-4 games in a weekend (depending on amount of teams registered)

Age Categories

• Grade 8/9 JH (Jr High )- Girls & Boys
• HS (High School) - Grade 10,11 & 12 Girls & Boys

All participating athletes must be in their respective Grades for the 2024/2025 School year.  Players can play in Grade divisions that are older but not younger.  Example, a player in Grade 8, can not play in the Grade 6/7 Division no matter what the age of the player is.  That player could only play in the Grade 8/9 Division or the High School Division

Divisions

The goal is to create match-up with other teams that will allow for competitive games.  This does not always happen but we are always striving to have the best match-ups possible

Game Rules (Fall Events)

We will default to FIBA rules except for the following modifications:

Team Rosters

• Players can not play for more than one basketball club in the same weekend in the same F.C.E. tournament
• If a team is short players and would like to "call up" player(s) from another team from their club, they can do so under the following conditions:
  • The player meets the Grade requirement (not overage)
  • The team that is calling up the player, has a maximum of 8 players WHICH INCLUDES the called up player(s).  There is no reason to call players to help a team if they already have 8 players playing.  The reason to call players is because you have 7 or less players able to play in the game.
