wristbands, made any other necessary preparations to play, and are ready to
take the court.
- Teams that are not present and ready to play may be penalized one point
for each minute they are late, up to the total number of points for the
game.
- Each team will be guaranteed 2 games. The first game will be to 30 points.
Subsequent games will be to 25 points. If circumstances require (e.g.,
weather delays, game delays, etc.) games may be shortened in order to
speed the pace of the tournament. The number of points played in
