Nike 3ON3 Code of Conduct

Athletics are a valuable way to enhance a person's physical, intellectual and emotional well-being. Athletics offer an outlet for individuals to exert positive energy in an environment that is both fun and competitive. We invite you to play hard and play fair; to enjoy the game, regardless of the end result; to try your best and be proud of your efforts; to appreciate your teammates and opponents and their performances; and to recognize that court monitors and other volunteers are giving their best so you may enjoy your basketball experience. Athletics can produce a winning feeling in all of us. Every player who demonstrates good sportsmanship is a winner. Nike 3ON3 officials love to see teams playing well together, and we thoroughly believe in fairness, fun and following the rules.

Bracketing Basics

Build Your Own Bracket

Do you want to know what your competition is before you even get to the streets? If so, then PLAN IT by building your own bracket! Simply sign up for your regular Nike Basketball 3ON3 non-elite division. Then round up either 7 or 15 more registered Nike Basketball 3ON3 teams you want to play against and who agree to play against you. We will then give you your own bracket. To create your own bracket, you must provide us with the following information by emailing us at info@registration.nike3ON3.com on or before June 30. The team name, team number, contact person, email address and phone number for either the 8 or 16 teams in your BYO bracket. Make sure all of the teams in your BYO bracket have signed up for Nike Basketball 3ON3 by the published deadlines.

Team Name

Your team name must be 20 characters or less and consist of letters only. Nike Basketball 3ON3 reserves the right to reject any name deemed to be inappropriate. Team names that have been rejected will be replaced by the listed captain's last name. (For example, if the team name has been rejected and the captain's name is Carl Jones, the new team name will be defaulted to JONES).

Age

Nike 3ON3 will bracket school-aged teams based on player grades, not ages, for the 2012-2013 school year. Teams are allowed to have players of mixed grades and will be placed appropriately.

For non-Elite Division post high school aged teams, the following ranges will be used as a guideline to bracket teams: 18-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50 and over.

Gender

Co-ed teams must have one male participant and one female participant on the court at all times. Any team containing both male and female players must sign up as a co-ed team. Adult Elite division teams may not be co-ed.

Height

Player height, especially pertaining to the tallest player on each team, is important in determining team brackets. Nike Basketball 3ON3 will offer 6 foot and under brackets in most cases. Unfortunately, many players choose to misrepresent their height on their entry forms. These players need to understand that if their actual height differs from what they indicated on their entry forms, they will be immediately disqualified from the tournament.

Experience

Tell us what you've been doing this past year, as well as if you've ever played at such levels as high school varsity or college basketball.

Competition Level

You will choose one of two competition levels that best describes your team's style of play.

Recreational

For the "weekend warrior" who plays on an infrequent basis for the love of the game and having a good time.

Competitive

For active players who play on a frequent basis looking for a more competitive experience than at the recreational level.
