To: Mid - America Youth Basketball Coaches From: Darrell Pillow Tournament Director RE: 4th Annual MAYB Paris Summer Classic Coach, Welcome to the 4th annual Mid - America Youth Basketball Tournament. As the tournament director I would like to welcome your team to Paris, TN. We hope that you find this year s tournament to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience for you and your team. We have some excellent teams entered this year and look forward to a very exciting tournament. I will do the best to accommodate all schedule requests prior to the tournament and when the schedule is out it will be difficult to make any changes. We would like to ask your assistance in taking care of the school facilities during the tournament. For your convenience a concession stand will be set up at the High school. The Paris Civic Center has ask no food or drinks be bought in to the gym area. Players are the only one that can bring a drink, or water bottle in. We hope you enjoy your visit to Paris and it is a positive experience for the players. We will be emphasizing sportsmanship. If a team is well ahead of 15 points I ask you not to press the other team, there is a 15 point margin. Coaches, have a report card, and/or birth certificate on hand if someone protests a player. It is your responsibility to prove a Childs age or grade and a MAYB rule. This will protect both of us and let s handle this in a professional manner. All gyms will have a gym supervisor listed on the schedule for any questions at that gym. All teams are guaranteed five games and some teams will advance to a single elimination tournament based upon pool results. The team listed first on the schedule has been declared the home team and should wear white uniform. The home team must provide the official clock keeper if one is not provided by the tournament. The guest team is the official book keeper (each team can have a book keeper at the table) and must sit at the scorer s table. We ask that you plan ahead and have someone ready to run the clock if you are the home team. This works out better, coaches don't yell too much at their own people working the clock and keeping the books. Time piece photos will be taking pictures again this year. Pictures will be on sale Sunday in the main lobby at the high school, or on line at www.timepiecephotography.com Tournament passes will be good for all games, a tournament pass is $10.00 and a day pass is $6.00. Each team is allowed two to enter without a charge and must sign there self in before every game they play. At anytime thru out the tournament you may reach me at 731-336-8771 Darrell Pillow Mid - America Youth Basketball Paris, TN Director Remember we are here for the kids

Mid America Youth Basketball Summer Tournament Regulations and Guidelines 1. All teams are guaranteed a minimum of 5 scheduled games each weekend. Some teams will play 7 or 8. When possible, teams will be ability grouped after pool play and brackets will be played out. 2. Regulation High School Activities Association rules will be followed with the following exceptions: 20 minute running clock except for last 2 minutes of each half, unless one team is ahead by 15 points. If lead falls below 15 points, clock will again stop. In addition, clock will stop on all technical fouls, injuries or timeouts (including officials TO). Clock does not restart until it would in a normal dead ball situation. 3 rd -4 th, 5 th, and 6 th boys will use girls size ball. 7 th grade boys will use the ball size of the state they are playing in. In KS, 7 th grade boys play with a girls size ball. At Nationals in August, 7 th boys will use the men s ball. 5-minute halftime and 5 minute pre-game warm-up. Game time is forfeit time. We recommend jerseys with numbers on front and back. No number restrictions exist. 4 timeouts per game, no 30-second timeouts. 3. No locker rooms, balls, etc will be provided by schools. 4. Individual awards for 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd place in each age group. Team awards for 1 st. These are minimums! 5. Brackets for the following age groups: 3 rd -4 th boys and girls 5 th boys and girls 6 th boys and girls 7 th boys and girls 8 th boys and girls 9 th -10 th boys and girls 11 th -12 th boys and girls We must have at least 4 teams to provide a tournament for an age group and would prefer at least 6. If we do not have these, age groups may be cancelled. MAYB reserves the right to combine age groups without notification. 6. Players may play on only one team within a tournament age group. Player s eligibility will be checked by a current grade card, if requested. Players may play up in an older age group. This could mean a player plays in the 8 th grade tournament and the 9 th -10 th grade division. But they can t play on 2 teams in the same 8 th grade tournament. 7. Each team is required to provide a scorekeeper or clock operator for each game. We have had great success with this. It is harder to yell at your own person, but please do not put kids in this situation. It is unfair to them if adults are yelling at them! 8. All games will be officiated by High School Certified Officials. 9. Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated!!! A referee may remove players from the game or tournament for inappropriate behavior. We are here for the kids. Do not allow or condone poor sportsmanship. This includes coaches and parents! 10. Referee may stop clock with reason. Intentionally wasting time to shorten the game can be punished with a technical foul. This does not mean a team can t use a delay offense at any time they choose. They simply can t tell players to not line up for free throws or sub 1 player at a time to run the clock. 11. Each tournament site will have a director. Please direct questions to this individual during the weekend. 12. If you need motel lists and playing sites, call our office at 316-284-0354. 13. Schedules and brackets will be mailed and on our website at least 7-10 days in advance of the tournament. 14. No food or drinks allowed in tournament facilities unless otherwise noted. 15. Tiebreaker procedure is as follows: 1 st criteria is head to head competition. If a 3-way tie exists and each team has no head to head winter (beat both the other teams) a coin flip is used to determine the first seed. Odd team out wins the first seed. Then tiebreaker procedure reverts to head to head. If teams have all not played each other another form may be used. 16. Overtimes will be 2 minutes in length with regular clock operation. The clock stops on all dead balls. 17. Each tournament will provide two coaches passes per team. 18. In case of foul weather we will attempt to reschedule games if at all possible. This may mean games are shortened or we play late. Refunds and scheduling at later dates are not possible. 19. All roster changes made after the entry deadline should be given to the tournament director before playing a game at a specific tournament. Grade cards will still be used to determine eligibility. You should have these with you at all times in case of protest. Final eligibility rulings will be made by the area director if weekend conflicts occur. There is no way for the National Office to make these decisions. If you know players will be gone, plan ahead! We want everyone to be able to play, but we do not want teams bringing in players on Sunday because they feel it is the only way to win the tournament. 20. Our first and primary goal remains to give all players maximum court time to improve their game in a competitive setting.
