During all games; a maximum of FIVE players from each team will be playing on the court at a time. Teams will primarily be able to substitute players (If they registered 2-3 subs) on the fly. If players from a team are not available and cannot participate in a game on any day, the team can play down a person. The game clock will not stop during any games, except during the TWO minute half-time for the final championship game. Qualified school staff members and coaches will be the referees for all games. If a team does not show up for their scheduled game, the opposing team will automatically advance to the next round. If there is an odd number of teams in the brackets; a bye system will be implemented which will allow the team(s) who signed-up first/ earliest to advance to the next round without playing the previous round. If a team has a female player, they will be able to automatically advance to the second round with a bye. Teams who donate the greatest number of canned goods on a particular day for our food drive will receive earlier/ more preferential game times!
