(N.E.S.A.C. registration cards are valid for the Philadelphia area.) Members of high school varsity teams will not be permitted to compete in the “Classic”. Each player in the “Classic” must have played in at least eight games with the team with which he is registered, validated by team score book. All decisions concerning player eligibility, as determined by the Classic Director, are final, no appeals. A minimum of one year suspension from “Classic” participation will be administered to teams found in violation of the rules.
3. Forfeits:
Classic Director will be responsible for the final decision to forfeit a game. Forfeit score will be 2-0. Limited time and space may make it necessary to declare a forfeit if a team is not prepared to play at its appointed starting time.
4. Players’ Rosters:
A maximum of fifteen (15) players may dress for each of the games of the “Classic”. The players listed on the roster, officially registered for “Classic” play, are the only ones permitted to play.
5. Players’ Uniforms:
Each team must be fully uniformed with sneakers, the same type jersey (numbered with no duplicate numbers), and same type trunks. If your team is equipped with light and dark jerseys please have both available for all games, should color duplication exist with one of your opponents.
6. Three Point Rule:
There will be three point shots in the Junior and Intermediate Divisions only. There will be no three point shots in the Pee Wee and Midget Divisions.

C. On the tenth and succeeding fouls in the half, two shots will be awarded.
D. Play ball on release of shot.
11. Stopping of the Clock:
Because the “Classic” demands regimented adherence to time the official clock will run with the following exceptions:
A. Held ball – Alternate possessions will be utilized instead of jump. Possession arrow will point to team bench receiving next possession.
B. Foul shots
C. Team time outs
D. Official time outs; i.e. injuries, equipment problems, ball retrieval

16. Bustleton Bengals Club will furnish all basketballs (game and practice). No personal basketballs are permitted in the gym, including club or team balls.
17. It would be prudent and helpful if each team would appoint a parent or coach to take care of valuables belonging to its players. Please do not leave valuables in the locker rooms. We regret that Bustleton Bengals Club cannot assume responsibility for any articles lost during the “Classic”.
18. Each club is responsible to provide a representative to control the conduct of their team and their own fans. Good sportsmanship on the part of the participating teams and their fans is essential for the success of the Bustleton Basketball Classic. Any coach, player, or follower who verbally abuses the referees or “Classic” officials will be subject to immediate ejection from the gym. Such decisions will be made by the referees and/or “Classic” officials. Failure to control a team or its fans may result in a forfeit. This decision is to be made by the “Classic” Director.
19. The success of Bustleton Basketball Classic depends entirely on your cooperation.
Thank you, and wishing you “SUCCESS IN CLASSIC XXXVII”!!!
Sincerely,
Jay Beratan
Classic XXXVII Director
