Tournament Expectations
Please remember that the Girls & Boy’s Basketball City Tournament this Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the BOS Center is a school function and all behavior guidelines will be enforced at all times during the City Tournament. Any inappropriate behavior displayed at the City Tournament will result in consequences that will be enforced by the administration of the student’s school. This includes behavior inside the BOS Center, as well as adjacent to the facility. No unaccompanied minors will be allowed entry into the City Tournament. All K-8th grade students should be with an adult who is responsible for their actions and monitors their movement during the games. They should be sitting watching the games and limit walking around unless using the restroom or visiting the concession stand. Do not drop off students to attend without an adult - they will not be allowed entry. All spectators will enter through weapons detection systems at the BOS Center. For safety and speed of entry, we strongly encourage spectators not to bring bags of any kind. Bags that are no larger than 4” x 6” x 1.5” are permitted after visual inspection. Clear bags are preferred. Athletes participating in the contest are allowed to bring their sports equipment bags (i.e. cheerleading bag, poms bag etc.). In addition, we want to remind everyone that students are expected to wear clothing that does not include lewd, obscene, or vulgar language or representation of anything illegal. Large chains or wallet chains are not allowed. Caps may be worn, but the bill must remain facing forward. No seating will be allowed on the balcony. Therefore, no spectators are allowed in the balcony area.
Students are prohibited from standing on the seats at any and all times. Middle school students are not allowed in the high school cheering sections.
Anyone leaving the main court floor with approximately five or fewer minutes remaining in the last game will be required to exit the building. Also, at this time, all individuals in the lobby area will be asked to leave the building. No one will be allowed to return to the main court or inside the building at this time. All spectators are expected to remain seated during all games. Anyone standing or roaming about will be asked to sit in the stands. All side doors must remain closed. Anyone allowed entry through a side door will be instructed to leave. Admittance will be allowed before half-time of the final game of the evening. Doors will close after half of the final game with no entry occurring after the game. Failing to abide by the City Tournament expectations may result in you being escorted from the BOS Center. If you are escorted from the BOS Center, you will not be allowed to return to any future games of the tournament. This is a school event. We want to support this fun family activity in our community. Any incidence of inappropriate behavior, poor sportsmanship, or physical / verbal altercations will not be tolerated. Removal from the main floor of the BOS Center will occur and possible consequences for behavior through the appropriate school will be considered. Adults and students run the risk of being banned from future sporting events as well. This may include notification of local law enforcement who will be monitoring the games nightly. The second game, on Wednesday and Thursday, will conclude at approximately 9:15 p.m. The 4th game on Friday will conclude at approximately 10:15 pm. The 4th game on Saturday will conclude at approximately 9:45 pm. Please make sure your ride, if needed, is available to pick you up at that time. Most importantly, we hope you and your friends have fun and enjoy the City Tournament this week. The tournament should prove to be very exciting, safe, and enjoyable for fans of all ages!
