There will be a short warm-up period prior to the start of each game, providing the tournament is on schedule. NO DUNKING is allowed during warm-ups. If caught dunking, your team forfeits the next game.
BE ON TIME. Teams not represented on the court by the end of the warm-up period will forfeit the game. If a team is still playing a game on another court, a team representative is required to notify the referee that they are playing on another court
Possession to start the game and overtime will be decided by a coin flip.

The winner will be decided by one of two ways: The first team to 15 and leading by two points will win the game OR the team with the highest number of points once the 25 minutes is up. There is no point differential if a game is played the full 25 minutes.
Games tied after 25 minutes will be determined by "sudden-death" (first basket wins).
