• 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 Some exceptions are as follows: https://macker.com/rules
Some exceptions are as followed:
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 May 19th
• 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. Infact, as it is Grace Baptist’s goal to bless our community, 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.
