📢 Important Tournament Update: Finals & 3rd Place Match Rules
To All Finalists and Contenders,
Congratulations on making it to the final stretch! As we approach the Championship and 3rd Place games on June 27, 2026, we want to ensure everything runs smoothly and fairly.
Please review the Passerelle Rule guidelines below carefully, as team roster sizes will directly impact game points and player rotations.
🏀 The 15-Player Passerelle Rule
To ensure maximum participation, every team must have exactly 15 players ready to play. The rotation will strictly follow this format:
1st Quarter (First 5 Minutes): Player Group A (5 players)
1st Quarter (Last 5 Minutes): Player Group B (5 players)
2nd Quarter (First 5 Minutes): Player Group C (5 players)
2nd Quarter (Remaining Time): Open Shuffle. Play any 5 players from the 15-man roster.
⚠️ Penalties & Advantages for Short Rosters
If a team arrives with fewer than 15 players, the following rules will automatically apply to benefit the opposing team that has a complete roster:
Automatic Plus Points: The opposing team will be awarded 2 points for every missing player on your roster.
Example: If Team 1 has 15 players and Team 2 has only 13 players, Team 1 automatically starts with a +4 point advantage.
Opponent Lineup Control (Consequence for Short Roster): To prevent the short-handed team (Team 2) from overplaying their star players, the complete team (Team 1) will have the right to choose which players from Team 2's roster will fill the remaining slots during the last 5 minutes of the 1st quarter or the first 5 minutes of the 2nd quarter.
Example: Since Team 2 is missing 2 players, Team 1 will handpick 2 players from Team 2 to stay on the court and play those extra minutes.
⏱️ Final Reminder
Please finalize your rosters and ensure all 15 players are present and accounted for before tip-off on June 27. Let’s keep the competition fierce, fair, and fun!
Good luck to all the teams fighting for the Championship and 3rd place! Let's make it a great game!
