TOURNAMENT RULES AND CONDITIONS OF COMPETITION
The LAKESIDE TOURNAMENT games are governed by High School Federation Rules with the following modifications:
TIME FORMAT
We have 70 minute time slots for each game. We will allow at least a 5 minute warmup between each game even if we are running late.
All games include two 16 minute stop-time halves.
The halftime break is three minutes in duration.
The first overtime period runs for two minutes with a stop-clock. All additional overtimes run for one minute with stop-clock. Each overtime period begins with a jump ball.
Teams are granted three 1 minute timeouts per game, plus one 1 minute timeout per overtime. Timeouts cannot be accumulated or carried over.
If a team is up by 20 points or more at any point in the second half, the clock goes to running time while the lead is 20 or more. If the lead drops below 20, stop time will resume.
No full court press by teams up by 20 points.
FREE THROWS

STANDARDS OF GAME CONDUCT
Lake Oswego Youth Traveling Basketball Association reserves the right to warn or eject a player, coach or fan for unsportsmanlike conduct or improper behavior from a game, or the entire tournament. No refunds will be given to such teams or individuals. It is important to remember that we are trying to provide a fun and exciting weekend for the players.
Players can play on only one team within each grade level.

FACILITY STANDARDS
Coaches and players are expected to clean up after themselves before they leave their court.
Each team may be required to provide a timekeeper and a person to keep the official score book. In the event that either one of these positions are not filled, the referees will ask the coaches to recommend a qualified person or persons for these tasks. If a person comes out of the stands to do the scorebook, he or she will become the official scorebook and will receive a certificate for reimbursed admission.
