• NCAA rules apply except for the following :
  The tournament will be round robin with a championship game at the end of the night. If two teams are tied at the end of round robin then their face to face match up will determine the championship game participant. If more than one team is tied then point differential during the face to face games will determine the winner.
• No more than one ex-varsity player will be allowed on the court at a time for any one team in A league or the co-ed league.
• For the co-ed league one woman must be on the court at all times.
• The games will be played on a half court
