- The top 2 teams in each 4-team pool will advance to Gold Bracket/single elimination play and the 3rd & 4th place teams will advance to Silver Bracket/single elimination play. (In some divisions all teams will advance to Gold Bracket play depends on the number of teams in each division). 3 teams in 5-team pools will advance to Gold Bracket play and all 3 teams in a 3-team pool will advance to gold bracket play.
- Tiebreaker criteria:
- Won-lost record
- Head-to-head competition;
- Point system (+15 / -15). (Note -Regardless of the point difference, “winning margin,” no team will receive more than a plus “15” or a minus “15” for point differential. For example, if team “A” wins by 20 points, team “A” will receive a +15 for that game.) Also, only the teams involved in the tie will be subject to the following point system formula;
- Least amount of points allowed in pool games;
- Coin flip.
- Although we will attempt to provide clock operators, the home team will keep the official book and will provide a scorekeeper and the visiting team should be prepared to provide a clock operator.
- The home team is the 1st/top team listed on the schedule and will wear light colored jerseys and the visiting team will wear dark colored jerseys.
- We will be using a regulation-sized basketball (the big ball) for 7-11th grades only. The 4th -6th grade divisions will be using the smaller ball. The home team must provide a 28.5 sized game ball.
- Coaches must have birth certificates in hand in case of challenges. If a player is found to be ineligible, the player will be ejected from the tournament and the team will forfeit all games the player participated in.
22. For age/grade challenges, the team issuing the challenge must submit a non-refundable $200 fee.
Note: An All-Tournament Team and MVPs will be selected (by director) at the conclusion of the championship game. In addition, individual awards will be presented to the champion and runner-up teams.
Special note to Coaches
- You are responsible for the behavior of your players and parents! We’re not going to tolerate violence and madness from coaches, players or parents! We will be ejecting anyone who’s is out of control and creating an unsafe environment!
- Don’t bring kids who you know are too old or who does not meet our age/grade requirements! If one of your players is challenged and you don’t have grade cards or birth certificates that prove eligibility, the player will be ejected and you will forfeit games!
- Two coaches and a score keeper/clock operator will be admitted free.
- Each team must be prepared top provide a score keeper or clock operator to each game. The home team will be responsible for keeping the official score, and the away team must provide a cook operator. At Worthington Kilbourne, we will provide clock operators and maybe some score keepers.
- The home team is also responsible for providing a game ball.
Invited/Committed Team List
Due to limited court space this year, the Buckeye Prep Invitational Tournament will be an “invitation only” tournament. Invitations will be extended to the most talented teams, and the organizations that have supported Buckeye Prep events the most in the past.
