ROOM BLOCKS LEAGUE/DISTRICT SECURED Last year some hotel rooms for teams were reserved via district room blocks. This may have been done again this year through your league or district, but some schools may be responsible for arranging their own room blocks. Please check your situation. You may need to secure your own rooms. If you reserve rooms and do not qualify for the tournament, please cancel your rooms immediately so teams and fans from other schools can fill the rooms.

PRE-TOURNAMENT DINNER AND OPENING CEREMONIES There will be a free spaghetti dinner for teams and cheerleaders participating in the tournament on Wednesday, starting at 5:30 p.m. in the SunDome. Doors will open at 5:00 p.m. for team check in, hand stamps, and other business. Opening ceremonies and team introductions will begin at 7:00 p.m. or when teams have completed dinner followed by a very short program. These activities are good opportunities to get your players in the facility prior to the tournament to relieve some of the game day jitters. PASS GATE ADMISSION TOURNAMENT PACKET TEAM PERSONNEL - Your tournament packet will be issued after you enter the SunDome pass gate at the team check-in area either Wednesday night or when you arrive at the tournament on Thursday. The packet will contain certificates, four parking passes (six parking passes - three passes for each team, if two teams from your school are in the tournament) and tournament pins for twelve (12) players, and eight (8) designated team personnel (coaches, managers, statisticians, etc.). The tournament pins will be required for your players and team personnel to get into the locker room and access the bench area. Players and team personnel must enter the SunDome through the Northeast corner pass gate. The pins will not get you through the pass gate because fluorescent hand stamps and black lights will be used for that purpose. Team personnel and cheer squad members can be stamped at the opening ceremonies or upon initial entry on the first day of the tournament. You will be required to verify the pass list of your twenty (20) players and designated team personnel prior to being stamped for entrance. An accurate list will help pass gate personnel in case the hand stamp is not visible during the tournament. Teams can pick up their tournament packet Wednesday, prior to the tournament, beginning at 5:00 pm in the SunDome. NON-TEAM SCHOOL PERSONNEL - The following school personnel who are not members of the team will be allowed entrance through the pass gate: Cheerleaders in uniform, the mascot and the cheer advisor/coach will be admitted through the pass gate. All should be listed on the cheer squad pass list form. Only one advisor/coach for every 5 cheerleaders up to a maximum of 3 advisors/coaches will be admitted through the pass gate. Cheer advisors/coaches should be school contracted employees. The head cheer advisor/coach will be required to verify the pass list of cheer squad members prior to being hand stamped for entrance. A school photographer (1) and one (1) school newspaper reporter and one (1) video person will be admitted through the pass gate for their

schools game only, as per WIAA regulations. All should be listed on the school pass list form and be able to identify themselves with an ASB card or drivers license. A letter of identification is not required. Designated school supervisors will be admitted through the pass gate for their schools game only with proper picture I.D. The names of school supervisors must be listed on the school supervisor form. The number of tournament school supervisors is determined by the number of teams from your school involved in the tournament; 3 per school with 1 team; 4 per school with 2 teams (boys and girls). Supervisors must be school district personnel, preferably administrators. The Principal/Assistant Principal and Athletic Director should be two (2) of the supervisors. Guests and family members must purchase a ticket. School Board members and the Superintendent will be admitted through the pass gate with proper picture I.D. List the names of school board members and a superintendent on the school pass list form. There is not a separate form for school board members and superintendents. Guests and family members must purchase a ticket. Band members with instruments and their advisor will be admitted as a group through the pass gate for their schools game. Check with other schools without a band at the tournament, they might like you to play for them. The team bus driver will be admitted through the pass gate with proper picture I.D. Other bus drivers must pay. STUDENT / FAN SEATING The lower sections of the bleachers will be reserved for the team s student section. The Home team fans will normally be on the west and the Visitors team fans will be on the east. However, seating arrangements may be changed for crowd control purposes. Check the seating chart each day at the pass gate or main entrance. The students of each team playing will have priority use of the designated sections during their team s game. The sections must be cleared in a timely manner immediately following each game. School Supervisors will be required to help in the movement of students and fans before and after the game. Please show respect to the students and fans of the teams currently playing by not sitting in the lower sections reserved for them. Wait until the game is over before moving in for your game. Let them enjoy the end of the game without the disruption of people trying to find seats. It is a good idea to review WIAA guidelines for noise makers, signs, and other paraphernalia that may be brought by fans.

THE WIAA NO CONTINUOUS STANDING POLICY FOR STUDENTS AND FANS WILL AGAIN BE IN EFFECT THIS YEAR DURING THE TOURNAMENT. Please prepare your student body and fans prior to the tournament in order to help us all with crowd management. The student seating area may change on Saturday. School supervisors are responsible to make sure their rooting section understands and follows this policy. WIAA NO-CONTINUOUS STANDING POLICY In order to allow all spectators to view the state basketball tournament games in the SunDome, spectators will be allowed to remain standing only during the following situations: Pre-game introductions Until the first basket is scored at the beginning of the game by your team. This does not apply to the beginning of the second half. All dead ball situations where the clock is stopped, i.e., time-outs, free throws, etc. Between quarters and half-times. After a great play or super effort by a player, then return immediately to your seat. The last two minutes of the game and overtime when authorized by tournament staff. Spectators may stand to cheer for exciting plays, but must return immediately to their seats. The intent of the policy is to make the games a fun experience for all, especially for fans who have difficulty standing for extended periods of time. Students and cheer squads who have been informed about the no-continuous standing rule prior to the tournament will enjoy the game experience. They need to know when it is appropriate to stand and cheer because they can stand and cheer a lot more than they think. Some schools actually practice before arriving at the tournament. TEAM SEATING The home team on the boy s court will be seated to the left of the scorer s table. The home team on the girls court will be to the right of the scorer s table. This arrangement should keep the opponent s band from being directly behind the bench of the visiting team. The team seating arrangement may change in the event the fan seating changes for crowd control purposes during the tournament. The tournament Manager has the authority to designate the home team bench. There will be 15 total chairs at courtside for players, coaches and other team personnel. One additional chair will be provided for the designated team physician or certified athletic trainer who have been issued a special tournament medical

pass. The four additional chairs at the end of the court next to the bench area are only for team hosts. One space will be designated at the scorer s table for the team scorekeeper or stats person. If you use the space for your computer stats program, there will not be extra seating at the scorer s table for spotters. No additional chairs or seating will be provided at courtside or at the media table for statisticians, coaches or other team personnel. SCHOOL SUPERVISOR RESONSIBILITY The head supervisor must meet with the floor manager at half time of the preceding game to discuss crowd control. All Supervisors must be readily identifiable and wear identification provided by the tournament management. It is the responsibility of the school supervisors, not tournament management or SunDome security, to control the behavior of your schools students and adult fans. At least two supervisors must be located at floor level in front of their school seating area during the game. Please include the name of your school s head supervisor on your team information sheet. By working together to insure adequate crowd control and movement of fans, we can help make the tournament an enjoyable experience for everyone. Remember that the WIAA no continuous standing policy will be in effect for the entire tournament. ATHLETIC TRAINING/MEDICAL INFORMATION A Certified Athletic Trainer will be on site to help with your team needs. Coaches and players will have access to the central taping and first aid area located next to the pass gate. You are welcome to use the area to tape your own players or ask a tournament trainer to do it for you. However, you must supply your own tape and supplies. Ice will be available at courtside and the central first aid/training area. If you have special needs, please check with the athletic trainer in an appropriate time frame for assistance. We would also request that you have any medical personnel who accompany your team identify themselves and their respective role to the tournament medical staff upon your arrival. A physician will be at the tournament or on call. Emergency medical services will also be on site and available during the tournament. There are two excellent hospitals and additional specialty health care services in the community. GAME DAY COACHES INFORMATION Upon entering the SunDome (approximately one hour before game time) look for the locker room attendants. They will make arrangements for storage of team equipment, location of locker rooms, taping procedures, and pre-game preparations. SunDome policy requires that no food or drink is brought into the facility by players or other team personnel.

Locker rooms will be accessible at half time of the preceding game. Players or other students should not be left in the locker room without adult supervision. No one will be allowed into the locker room area without proper credentials. A TOURNAMENT PIN IS REQUIRED FOR ADMITTANCE. Media will be restricted entry to the locker room area immediately following the game. Do not leave valuable items in the locker room. Valuables should be placed in a bag or briefcase and taken to the bench during the game. Locker room attendants will be stationed outside your locker room at all times to be of assistance to you. Warm-up time will be fifteen (15) minute (not including introductions) and will begin immediately following the end of the preceding game. Warm-up time for the first games of the day will be increased to 20 minutes. All other games regardless of when the previous game finished will have 15 minutes of warm-up. Coaches are advised to have their teams ready to warm-up 25 minutes prior to the official start time of the first game of the day. No other shooting or warm-up on the court is allowed. Teams must go directly to their half of the court and follow WIAA warm-up guidelines. At half time, teams will be informed when there is 4 minutes left on the clock. Water will be provided behind benches. Water or other drinks will be provided in the locker rooms. Feel free to ask the floor managers or the tournament office staff for assistance with any problems that arise.

Your school will be responsible for any damage that occurs or staining of the locker room carpet. TOURNAMENT PROGRAMS Each school will be provided with two (2) complimentary programs from WIAA. Pick them up at the tournament office. Coaches will be asked to sign for the programs. Additional programs for team members, up to 18, can be purchased for $5.00 on Wednesday only at the tournament souvenir location. The programs can be purchased with cash or by a purchase order made out to WIAA. There will not be any pre-order of additional programs. BANDS NATIONAL ANTHEM The National Anthem will be played at the beginning of each session. Please have your band director check in with the floor managers at least twenty (20) minutes

prior to game time. A national anthem soloist must check with the tournament director prior to the start of the tournament. Tournament managers will try to arrange performances as early as possible and the home team will have priority. The tournament manager has the authority to select a non-school performance for the championship game national anthem. CHEER TEAM MEETING CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST On Friday morning, at 8:00 AM, there will be a Continental Breakfast Meeting for all cheer squads at the SunDome in the State Fair room. A Representative of WIAA will address the group. We encourage your cheer team to attend this fun event that includes many door prizes. FILMING There are four spotlight towers available for teams to film or videotape. Electrical outlets are available; however, you will need to provide your own extension cord. The individual who is filming the game for his/her school must be identified as the official school video person. Official team photographers must stay in designated areas around the court when taking photos during the game. Flash cameras used by the official team photographer may be allowed courtside during the game, unless the flash interferes with play. TOURNAMENT TEAM PHOTOGRAPHS - THURSDAY The tournament photographer will take team pictures prior to all games on Thursday. Pictures will be taken off-court upstairs in the State Fair room. It will be important that everyone cooperates with the photographer and are ready for their pictures at designated times. Pictures will be taken in the upstairs meeting room beginning 45 minutes prior to each scheduled game time. Girls teams will be scheduled first followed by the boys. Each school should make their own arrangements with the tournament photographer for other photographs of cheer squads and bands at half time. SPORTSMANSHIP AWARDS Sportsmanship awards will be presented immediately following each game during the first two days of the tournament. A school representative, preferably a superintendent or school board member, will be asked to present the award at mid court.

Teams planning to Team Up with an elementary or middle school in the local area must make their own contact with the school. The purpose of the program is to visit at an elementary or middle school to promote academics, sportsmanship and athletics. This is a way for your athletes to give back to the community and positively impact the lives of young student athletes. Past participation in this program has added to the total tournament experience for teams and players. We have also had bands and cheer squads team up at area schools. Contact information for local Yakima Valley schools that would like a visit this year will be available before the tournament. Contact Gene Rostvold by e-mail for a list of schools and contact information.
