Rules for the game:
The Grace Baptist 3 on 3 Basketball tournament 5/25/24:
· For youth 19years old and under
· Double elimination tournament with three age divisions:
o 12 yrs old and under (WE HOPE TO HAVE ENOUGH YOUNGER PLAYERS FOR A SEPARATE 10 YRS AND UNDER DIVISON THIS YEAR!)
o 13-15 yrs old
o 16-19 yrs old
· If registration is particularly large in one age division, it may be split
· Each team will be placed in division corresponding to the age of the oldest player on the team.
· If you want to participate and don’t yet have a team, please register anyways and we will find a team for you to play on!
· PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED THIS YEAR, (space may be limited), please register by May 18th.
· Check in will start at 10:50am game, and all divisions will begin play at 11:30am.
· Games are played to 15 points or 15 minutes- whichever comes first
· Free throws and regular baskets are worth 1 point. Baskets made beyond what is normally called the 3 point line will be counted as 2 points.
In general, our rules of play will be similar to the rules for “Gus Macker” 3 on 3 tournaments (ATTACH WEBSITE LINK TO GUS MACKER RULES). Some exceptions are as follows:
· Gus Macker requires a four member team (three on the court and one substitute) – your team can be 4 members, but most teams will consist of three teammates; you can change your team roster up to the close of registration on 18th
· If we have enough all girl teams to create a girls division we will, but otherwise the divisions will be co-ed.
· Our tournament is free, there is no registration fee. In fact, as it is Grace Baptist’s goal to bless our community, so drinks and refreshments will be free to both players and spectators!
· There is no “win by 2”- which ever team reaches 15 points first or is ahead when 15 minutes is over is the winner.
· In event of rain check the church website or call (585) 335-6190 for updates as to rain delays or cancelations.
In general, our rules of play will be similar to the rules for “Gus Macker” 3 on 3 tournaments. https://macker.com/rules
