North Region Basketball 2014

All Coaches Please Read Carefully

NORTH REGION ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

BASKETBALL On behalf of the North Region Athletic Association, we would like to extend our sincere thanks and

appreciation to the following convenors for their contributions in organizing this year’s basketball

tournaments.

Joseph Gagliardi St.Robert 5297

Francesco Rescigno St. Wilfrid 5313

Pasquale Paolitto St. Raphael 5285

We would like to thank all of the principals of the schools who hosted divisional and regional tournaments, as

well as those teachers who are site convenors for this years tournament.

Congratulations to last year’s North Region City representatives;

Girls – St. Wilfrid and St.Robert Boys – St. Charles Garnier & Our Lady of Assumption

This year we’re working with eight sites and we have created an eight team Regional Tournament.

The regional tournament will consist of a round robin with an elimination second round game. Teams

can only be eliminated in the second game. All games will have 2 x 10 minute halves, 3 time outs, and

stop time in the last two minutes of the second half only. Good luck!

As a result of the changes, teams may be faced with longer travel times. Coaches are asked to please

arrive at your convening many schools on time, as it is imperative that the schedule is adhered to.

Please reminder that there are no carded officials for the divisional tournaments. Convenors and

coaches are asked to read the entire booklet carefully, paying attention to the Convenor’s Duties page.

Yours in Partnership,

Joe Gagliardi Lucy Graziano Peter Bernotas Enrica Della Mea

Each team will play two games. There will likely be ties in the standings. You cannot be eliminated due to points in

the first round. A team that loses both games can still make it in. If two teams have no wins, a three-minute game will

be played to determine fourth place. The losing team in the three- minute game is out. All other ties in the standing will

follow the tie breaking procedures listed in the tournament rules.

In the event that time becomes an issue, the site convenor may declare a first place winner and only 2nd

and 3rd

place will

play a semi-final. The winner of the semi-final will play a championship game against the first place team. The 4th

and

5th

In the event that there is a three way tie in a pool, all teams in that pool must play another round robin consisting of three

minute games following the same schedule as above. In the interest of time, if the same results occur after the second

round robin, then score differential (points for minus points against), will be used to determine the first place team for

that pool.
