Tournament Rules

All teams are guaranteed a minimum of 3 games unless otherwise noted.

Pool play format with bracket/playoff play for qualifying teams will follow. All championship games will be held at the Hall of Fame for each age group* unless otherwise noted.

Teams will never play back to back games unless specifically asked for by the coach.

Maximum of 2 coaches per team and 12 players (all with AAU eligibility remaining) per team.

Teams must send rosters in with corresponding uniform #'s. Players can participate on two teams if they are of the appropriate age. Players can play up an age group, but they cannot play down if they are too old.

Coaches can ask for special requests, but not all requests will be granted. It is up to the Naismith Tourney Directors if the request will be granted.
