All Tournament Teams: Each site will pick an all tournament team. There will be five players from each of the two sites (ten total). The coaches at each site will pick the teams--coaches cannot vote for their own players. The voting will take place after Friday night's games, to be turned into either John Overstreet or Jeff Fenton before you leave Friday night. The 5 players will be ranked on a declining scale (nomination form) (10-8-6-4-2). The all tourney team will be announced after the completion of the Championship game Saturday night. Members of the all Tournament team will be given plaques.

Tie Breaker to determine Saturday's games:

In case of a 2-way tie--Head to head will determine the place.

In case of a 3-way tie--the point spread (maximum of 20 points per game) between the 3 teams that are tied.

Example: A defeats B by 10, C beats A by 5, B beats C by 12. A would win the tiebreaker with +5, B would have +2 and C -7.

If this step reduces the tie to 2 teams, then the 2-way tiebreaker would determine the place.

If there is still a 3-way tie--the best free throw percentage of all games will determine the place.

Hospitality Room: There will be a limited hospitality room each night for coaches, administrators, bus drivers…

Media: PBL and Clifton Central will contact the major newspapers (News-Gazette, Pantagraph, Kankakee, Danville) each night. If schools have another media outside of the PBL and Clifton Central area, please provide John Overstreet and Jeff Fenton with the fax number before the tournament.
