Tournament games will be played with three players from each team on the court at one time. Given sufficient registration, men's, women's, and co-ed divisions will be established. Depending on the number of teams, tournament organization will be either winner advance or round robin style. For winner advance, the game will consist of 2 halves of 16 minutes each, whereas a round robin game will have just one 20 minute period. Each team may have three one minute timeouts per game. Players will foul out after the 5th foul. All violations will be called according to NCAA collegiate rules. There will be overtime in the winner-advance games of 2 minutes, with a double overtime becoming a sudden death first basket wins. In the round-robin style, a win is worth 3 points with a tie worth 1 point. The two top teams from each group would then advance to a winner-advance tournament. In the event of a points tie, the team with the most cumulative points over the course of their round-robin games would advance.
