Adult divisions:
Top Gun - No age or height breakout: you may be any height and/or any age.
Over 30 years old - Every player must be at least 30 years old.
Youth divisions:
Please note that our divisions are by age, players should register for the division labeled with their current age. All players must match the appropriate age, and no player may be older than the age listed for that division or the entire team will be flighted in the next age division. In instances where there are less than four teams in your youth age and skill level, your team will be moved up to the next age grouping in the same skill level.
Does Hoop It Up still use averages to determine divisions?
No, Hoop It Up no longer uses the average age to determine which division a team will play in. The divisions are now determined by the age of every individual player. For the Over 30 divisions - if any player is 29 or younger, the entire team must play in the 19-29 division. For youth divisions, your team will play in the age division of your team's oldest player.
How Do I Register?
Simply click on the "Register Now" button at HoopItUp.com and follow the steps to register online, or complete an entry form and return it to the address or fax number provided. Full payment must be received and all required paperwork must be signed and received by the registration deadline in order for your entire registration process to be complete. Entry forms are accepted via mail, fax or online at HoopItUp.com.
What is the deadline to register?
The deadline to register for the event is the Tuesday before the event at 6:00 a.m. (MST.) Once the deadline has passed it is very difficult to add additional teams as the scheduling process will have started. If you have missed the deadline and still wish to register, requests will be evaluated on a per event basis to ensure that adding a late team does not cause a negative impact on those teams that registered on time .
How many players can I have on the roster?
You must have 3 players on your team, but no more than 5 players (the 4th and 5th players are substitutes). Entry fee is the same regardless of number of players on team! A coach does not count as a player and will not receive any player gifts (t-shirt, etc.).
Do we have to wear a Jersey?
No, you do not need to wear jerseys with player numbers, however it is very helpful if possible. Your team should plan on wearing the same color of shirt/jersey and to bring a back-up set of a different color since two opposing teams can't wear the same color in a game.
Can I change my roster after I am registered?
Yes you can adjust your roster until the start of your first game, as long as the replacement is of the same age and skill level. Roster changes must be completed either at the Pre-Event check-in or at the headquarters tent before your first game. Roster changes can not be made online. All new players must complete a player change form prior to their first game; otherwise, the team will forfeit games played with the non-registered player prior to the form being completed. Roster change forms are available on the web-site or are available at the headquarters tent during Pre-event check-in.
When do we get our schedule?
Schedules will not be posted online. Teams are advised to pick up their schedules during the Pre-event Packet Pick-Up, which will be held the Friday evening before the event for Saturday/Sunday events (Thursday evening for Friday/Saturday events). Pre-Event information can be found on the Hoop It Up website (www.hoopitup.com) by following the link for the city you want to play in - if no information is posted yet, it means we are still securing the location or time and will be posting it as soon as it's available!
What do we get when we win?
1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place teams in EACH DIVISION qualify for the World Championships in Louisville, KY, July 31/August 1, 2010. Join us for the best 3on3 event of theyear.
Additionally, the Champions (1st place) and Finalists (2nd place) from each division will receive a Hoop It Up plaque for their accomplishments!
Can we play in more than one tournament?
Yes, you can play in as many local tournaments as you'd like - you can either use your online account to register or you can fax/mail your forms in to us. If you've already played in an event THIS YEAR you can call us at 888.618.7108 and we can transfer your roster to the new event you'd like to play in. **Please have any roster changes/additions prepared with you to give us over the phone as well as a credit card or debit card payment!**
Can we change our team name?
We can't guarantee that your team name change will be reflected in the brackets, so it's important that you give us your correct team name when you register online. If you want to change it, however, we can do our best to make sure it's reflected in the brackets - just call team services at 888.618.7108 and we will do what we can!
Can I play on more than one team?
Yes, as long as they are not in the same division. In addition, we will NOT be responsible for scheduling conflicts.
Can we have a team with both male and female players on our team?
Yes. We do not have a coed division - if you have a mixed-gender team, you will be placed in the male division.
What is the "no parking zone"?
The "no parking zone" is a 10 ft. by 10 ft. area starting on the baseline (5 ft. on each side of hoop). An offensive player can not remain stationary in this box AND receive the ball in this area when being guarded by an opposing player. You can cut through the area while being guarded and receive the ball, but you must be on the move. You can receive the ball in this area if you are stationary and are NOT being guarded. A foot on the line of the "no parking zone" counts as being in the zone.
I registered online but never got to a payment page, am I registered?
Unless you enter a method of payment (credit card or debit card) AND receive a confirmation (to the contact e-mail address you provided, your team is NOT fully registered. Call HIU Team Services at 888.618.7108 for further assistance.
Our team already played in a tournament this year, do we have to go through the registration process again?
If you log into your account using the username and password for your team, you can start at Step 3 and register your team for another event, all you'll have to do is re-enter a payment (credit card or debit card). If you've already played in an event THIS YEAR, you may call us at 888.618.7108 and we will transfer your roster to the new event you'd like to play in. **Please have any roster changes/additions prepared with you to give us over the phone as well as a credit card or debit card payment!**
What is the Weather Policy?
**Show up for your first game as scheduled!** The Event Director will make the call on site if condition warrant postponing games until weather lets up - AND - will post any delays to the hoopitup.com website. **Show up for your first game as scheduled!**
Play will continue through inclement weather as much as possible - if it's necessary to stop play, it will be postponed in 30 min. increments until conditions are suitable to resume play. It's very important that all teams remain close to the event site so that games may resume in a timely manner once the weather has improved enough to resume play!
What do I need to bring to the Pre-Event?
All you need to bring is the team name you're registered under! No birth certificates are required at check-in, however you will need to have proof of age during the event in the case of an age discrepancy. Plan on bringing a document with each player's name and birthdate on it (driver's license, birth certificate photocopy, passport, etc.) - if your document doesn't have a picture (birth certificate), it is helpful to have a picture ID as well to compare it to (school ID, etc.).
Can I bring my own cooler and tent?
Yes, Players are allowed to bring coolers on-site unless otherwise noted on the event page due to facility restrictions. In addition, no alcoholic beverages are allowed on site. Please note all coolers may be searched upon entry per venue regulations.
Tents - you may bring your own shade tent as long as it measures 10’ x 10’ or less and does not feature any offensive graphics. All tents and personal belongings must be removed at the end of play each day. The tournament and their employees are not responsible for any loss or theft that may occur.
Pets
Please leave them at home.
Will I have to pay for parking?
Some venues will charge for parking and this amount is determined by the facility and not the tournament director. If there is a charge for parking, it will be noted on the event page for that particular event.
