Team Tournaments
3 on 3 Basketball – There will be a guys’ tournament and a girls’ tournament. They will be single elimination. Each game’s winner will be determined with an 8-minute running clock or by the first team to twelve points. Scoring will be by ones and twos. Other specific rules will be given at the games.
6 on 6 Volleyball – This is a coed tournament, so each team will need to have both guys and girls on the court at all times. The ratio of guys and girls doesn’t matter. It can be five girls and one guy, four guys and two girls, or whatever combination you would like.
This will also be single elimination. The games will be fifteen points rally scoring or a ten-minute time limit.
*Teens can play in both the basketball and volleyball tournaments. Groups can have one team in each tournament for every ten teens that attend the Day of Champions. For instance, a group with thirty-six teens can have three teams in each tournament. Once a team is eliminated, those players cannot play for another team in the same tournament.
*Group leaders will be asked for the number of teams they are entering in each tournament at registration.
Individual Tournaments
Putt-Putt Golf – The course will be open from 12:00-3:00. Teens can play at their leisure and turn in their score card. The lowest score will win.
