IN CASE OF A TIE
Point system
A point differential system will be used. Teams receive a maximum of 15 points for a win and a maximum of -15 points for a loss. The team with the most positive points will be first followed by the next most positive point total.
If two teams remain tied, we revert to a Defensive Point System – A total defensive point system will be used in case of a tie between 2 or more teams. Example: Team A is 2-1 with wins of 45-32 & 49-45 and a loss of 56-64. Total defensive points determined are 141. Repeat the same procedure for the remaining teams. The team with the lowest points allowed will determine the teams’ order of placement.
GAME RULES
Game rules will be consistent with AAU tournament rules:
There will be a ten (10) second back court violation and a five (5) second closely guarded rule. – High School Rules
Second Team listed is the away team
Foul shots line up above low block and players must wait until ball hits rim.
Running clock after one team gains a lead of 20 points or more on opposing team, the clock will not be stopped until the trailing team brings the point difference to 15 pts or less.
If a team gains a lead of 20 points or more on an opposing team, the “AAU Mercy Rule” will be in effect. The team with the lead must stay within the three point line on defense. There is no press (full or half-court) allowed while this rule is in effect.
If a game is tied at the end of regulation play, one overtime period of 3 minutes will be played with clock being stopped. Each team will be extended one additional timeout and all of the timeouts carried over from regulation. If the game is still tied, the overtime period is cut to one minute with the clock being stopped.
