Sign your team up for the Shamrock Classic here
Here are some additional notes and information on the classic.
You need to know this could be as many as 7 games if you do not get eliminated. Pool games and an elimination tournament starting Saturday evening after you play 2-3 games. I have posted the pool play schedule and the bracketed tournament. You will play your first bracket game Saturday night! I encourage you to look at the info from last season to get an idea of what your weekend may look like.
We have 78 teams last year, thanks to the overwhelming response! Each team will be required to provide a book or clock keeper for each game. The tournament will be run under AAU rules for scoring pool play and other rule interpretation, including bench personnel. Because of the number of games we have to get in we will employ a 12 minute half. 14 for 15U and up.
We will be providing full concessions at all games. We are trying to
pattern the event in line with what you will find in your AAU events.
For those who are traveling long distance, or have early/late games, our
local hotels are providing some specials if you ask for the contact person and let them know you are playing this weekend. There will be a $4 gate collected Friday, $8 Saturday, and $5 Sunday. We will have tournament passes available for $12 and $34 for your
immediate family.

3rd grade will play under the rules adopted by HGBL 3rd grade. Specifically:
1) There will be no pressing on defense, (pressing will be allowed last 30 seconds of 4th quarter and overtime) the defense can begin after the offensive player crosses mid-court.
(MAN TO MAN DEFENSE ONLY) (Double teaming Allowed Below Free Throw line extended)
2) Free throw line will be 12 feet.
3) Overtime will be two minutes. If the first overtime ends in a tie, the second overtime will be sudden death.
4) Lane violations will be called after 5 seconds.
The single elimination bracketed tournament will be seeded by your performance in pool play. If you finish first in your pool, your first game Saturday evening will be against the last place team from the opposite pool.
