State High School Athletic Association rules will be used, with the following additions/exceptions:

Pool play format, followed by a single elimination tournament.

Tie Breakers:

Head to head
Point differential (max of 15) of all pool play games, then back to head to head if there are still two teams tied.
If three or more teams are still tied, then fewest points allowed.
Coin flip.

Game time is start time. Don't be late! Forfeits count at -15 in a tie breaker situation. There is a 10 minute grace period that may be waived at the tournament Director's discretion if we are behind schedule.

Teams need not be registered with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), although AAU age group rules will be followed unless otherwise specified by the Tournament Director and tournament rules. Birth certificates may be checked.

Games for age groups 10U, 11U, and 12U will be 6 minute quarters, while ages 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U, and "Open Division" will be 7 minute quarters. The clock will stop for all dead balls, except in the 4th quarter when one team is up by 25+ points, in which case the clock will run continuously (except on time outs) until the lead is 24 points or less.

In the event of overtime, the first overtime period will be 3 minutes. Each additional overtime will be 1 minute.

Warm-ups and half time will be 5 minutes long each, though the Director reserves the right to reduce this amount if the tournament gets behind schedule.

A clock operator will be provided for each game, though the home team will be required to provide 1 scorer to sit and keep book at the table. The team listed first, or on the top of the bracket is the home team on the schedule.

3 full (1 minute) time outs will be allowed per game. Additionally, 1 full time out will be added for each overtime period, though the regulation time outs do not carry over.

The one-and-one bonus will take effect on the 7th team foul of each half. Double bonus takes effect on the 10th team foul of each half. 5 fouls on an individual player for that game will disqualify that player.

If a player or coach is ejected from a game for any reason, they must then sit out the next game. If they are ejected a second time, they are disqualified for the remainder of the event. In the event that an appeal is necessary, appeals must be voiced to the Tournament Director, who will then listen to the appeal with at least 2 other members of the tournament committee (selected by the Director).

AAU ages are in effect for all age groups. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS WITHOUT WRITTEN CONSENT FROM THE VSE STAFF.

Teams found to be using ineligible players for any reason will forfeit all games in which the ineligible player participated and that player is then disqualified from the remainder of the tournament. Players may not participate on more than one team in the same age group.

Please bring birth certificates and AAU cards for all of your players. These may be requested for verification at team check-in.

VSE and/or the Tournament Director has the right to refuse admittance to any team, for any reason, into any VSE event.
