NCAA Rules will be applied to our games with the following exceptions:

* Teams will be allowed a four (4) minute warm-up with a three (3) minute halftime.

* Two (2) 16-minute stopped halves. For 12 and under, two (2) 14-minute stopped halves. When a team reaches a lead of over 20 points the clock will continue to run until the lead reaches 14 points.

* Teams with a lead of more than 20 points will not be allowed to press.

* Double bonus free throws will occur on the tenth (10) team foul and thereafter, no one-and-one. Play the release of the ball.

* All fouls under one minute of play in the 2nd half only will be an automatic two shot foul.

* Players will be disqualified on their fifth (5) personal foul.

* Flagrant fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated and ejection from any game will mean suspension from the entire tournament.

* Three (3) thirty second timeouts per game. One (1) extra thirty second timeout will be granted for an overtime game.

* One overtime period of two (2) minutes will be played. After that, sudden death play will be in effect, and the first team to score wins. All fouls in overtime will be two shots.

* There will be no shot clock so the 10 second backcourt will be in effect.  Five second holding count will be in effect in the frontcourt.

* Home teams are listed FIRST and will be considered the "official" book unless otherwise agreed upon by both teams AND the officials before game tip-off.

* All teams are scheduled with four (4) games. Since teams spend a lot of time and money to come to such an event, any team leaving early will not be invited back to future GPS Hoops or Lakers tournaments.

* Tie Breaker: -head to head record; -least points allowed; -most points scored; -coin flip.

* Tournament directors, or the site coordinator, will have the final say on disputed issues.
