The Ones League is our version of a tournament created by NBA Legend Tracy McGrady aka T-MAC. This league will take place over the course of three Tuesdays this Fall. With so much emphasis being on one on one play in today’s game, we thought what better way to work on it but to create a league. The league will have three divisions based upon grade…Varsity Division (11th-12th graders), JV Division (9th-10th graders), Middle School Division (7th-8th Graders).

League Format:

Day One (Sept. 17th) - PreSeason play, will consist of multiple games that do not count towards your record for seeding. The purpose of this day is to give the players an opportunity to get comfortable with the rules and it will also give us the opportunity to evaluate each player for accurate pool placement

Day Two (Sept. 24th) - Pool Play, All players will be placed in pools similar to what you would see in an AAU tournament. Each participate will play against the other participants in their pool. Once pool has ended, we will now have our seeding for the third day/bracket play.

Day Three (Oct. 1st) - Bracket Play,  the results of pool play will determine seeding for the tournament. The tournament is single elimination and the winner will be awarded a prize pack worth up to $500. 

League Rules:

• Games will be played half court to 7 points or the expiration of a 10-minute running game clock, whichever occurs first, with made baskets inside the 3-point line counting as 1 point and made baskets beyond the 3-point line counting as 2 points.
• There will be a 12-second possession clock. After 12 seconds, possession changes, even if the offensive player has attempted a shot and gets an offensive rebound.
• After a made basket or dead-ball change of possession (e.g., offensive foul), the other player gets possession.
• All fouls result in a reset of the possession until a player has committed 3 fouls. Beginning with a player’s 4th foul, if a player commits a defensive foul, the offensive player gets a 1-point free throw, regardless of whether the foul is committed while the offensive player is in the act of shooting.
• Each player has one 1-minute timeout per game.
• An offensive player may not back down the defensive player for more than 3 consecutive seconds, and any such violation will result in a change of possession.
