Tournament Format: There is a 3 game minimum. Teams will play two preliminary games Friday and/or
Saturday and are then seeded. The tournament will then continue in a single elimination process (lose and you’re
out format; similar to NCAA and NFL playoffs). All teams will make this single elimination playoff. Seeding will
be based on results of preliminary games, strength of schedule, pre-tournament seeding and personal observations.
Scheduling consideration will also be made in order to avoid having teams play each other twice although this may
happen. We will also try to avoid having teams from the same organization play each other. The intent is to provide
the opportunity for the top teams to move on without matching up high seeds before the finals. Although this will
not be a perfect process, every effort will be made to make it fair. For example, one team might go 1-1 in the
preliminary games and still have to play in the Play-In game based on strength of schedule while another team that
goes 1-1 might get a bye into the semi finals. Also, a team might have to beat a team twice (once in the preliminary
round and once in the single elimination round) to move on in the tournament. Please remember that seeding teams
is a difficult process; after all, the selection committee for the NCAA tournament has an enormous amount of
information and resources available to it and various media experts still complain and critique it for the entire week
leading up to the first game. In order to win the tournament, teams need to beat whoever lines up against them.
Play-in games (also called Pig-tail games) are necessary when there isn’t a round number for the play-off
(i.e. 4, 8 or 16 teams). Lower seeded teams will need to play a pigtail game against another lower seeded team to
advance into the round of 8 (or 4). This is similar to the NFL playoff system where the wild card teams play lower
seeds for the right to advance while the top 2 teams get byes into the conference semi-finals.
Sunday’s playoff schedule will be posted on the website, www.inthezonesports.biz, throughout the day
Saturday and finalized by 10:30 pm Saturday. Please check the website regularly.
Games Rules:
• 20 minute halves with running clock; stop clock for the last 2 minutes of each half. Clock stops on technical
fouls.
• Four 30 second timeouts per game; one additional 30 sec time out for each OT.
• 4 minute halftime and up to 5 minutes between games for warm-up. Theses can be modified if games are
running behind schedule. Games will start no earlier than 5 minutes before scheduled start time if games
are running ahead of schedule.
• 2 minute overtime followed by 1 minute overtimes until winner is determined.
• No pressing by a team that has a 20 point lead.
• If a team is up by 20 points or more in the second half, the clock will continue to run unless the lead slips
below 20 points.
• 10 minute grace period from start of game before forfeit is announced (tournament director’s discretion
based on conversations with coaches).
• Any player or coach receiving two technical fouls in a game will be ejected from that game and will not be
allowed to play in their next game.
• Any player ejected for fighting will be expelled from the tournament
• Unless otherwise specified, all other rules follow PIAA standards except those relating to scorebook and
uniform requirements.
• Foul shots are live on the release of the ball from the shooters hand.
• Hand checking will be called in line with new 2014 NFHS guidelines.
To read this schedule:
1. Find the number and letter combination corresponding to the highest GRADE of age group of the team
you are looking for. Boys Brackets are followed by a “B”; girls bracket will be followed by a “G” (i.e. the
code “6G” for the Girls 6th Grade bracket while a “7B” would represent the Boys 7th grade bracket).
2. Find the abbreviation or shortened team name for your team as identified after the team name in the
preceding table
