SPECIAL RULES THAT APPLY TO Boys 1st & 2nd grade divisions

• 8.5 Foot Hoops

• Defense inside the 3 point line (This will be enforced )

• Press will be allowed final 2 minutes of the game unless it is a 20+ point lead

Tie Breaker: Head to head then total point differential among the teams involved in a multi team tie and then total point differential against every team. 20 points is the max so running up the score can only be categorized as unsportsmanlike and point total will not determine a tiebreaker after 20

The scorekeeper is the official game scorer and timer. NOT ANYONE ON A TEAM BENCH
