WELCOME,

We are pleased to welcome you to the Chicagoland area for the 21st Annual National Summer Classic basketball tournament! This year’s event features teams from Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Minnesota, and Ontario! Youth athletic competition should demonstrate high standards of ethics and sportsmanship, as well as promote the development of good character and important life skills. We hope you enjoy your time in the Chicagoland area this weekend.

And most of all please remember...

These are kids. It’s just a game. The coaches are volunteers. The referees are human. And no college scholarships will be handed out today.

Good luck to all teams!

Coaches must include any players that may play in any game of the tournament on their roster for the first game, even if the player(s) is/are not present at the first game.

• AGE GROUPS: Complete age rules can be found online: www.nationalsummerclassic.com.

• PROTEST: A team that wishes to protest a game must follow specific guidelines. The head coach must inform the site or tournament director at least 5 minutes PRIOR to the START of the game. A protest can only be filed by the HEAD COACH of a team. At the time of protest, the head coach must produce a $100 cash protest fee, which will be returned only if the protest is won. Protests filed without the $100 cash fee will be deemed immediately invalid. If the reason for protest is age/grade related, the protesting team must first produce age and grade documents for its entire team. Then, tournament officials will verify age and grade of the team being challenged. Teams found in violation of the age/grade rules are subject to forfeiture with no refund. The tournament director has final say on all protests and has the authority to make decisions related to protests that are in the greater interest of the tournament.

•ADDITIONAL RULES: In addition to the rules listed on this document, games will be governed by NFHS rules. The tournament director reserves the right to make rulings in the greater interest of the tournament if necessary. Those rulings are final.
