| Q1. |
Can I register as a single player during the tournament? |
| A1. |
You can add yourself to a waiting list. Most teams are sponsored by, and identified by, their employer company. If your company does not have a team already registered in the tournament, why not organize one! It's a great tournament for a great cause. Go to our Players section for more details on team TEAM FEES and our REGISTRATION section for a registration form. Or contact Tim Costigan: tim.costigan@baystreethoops.com |

| Q2. |
How does a team determine what level they are in the tournament? |
| A2. |
We have a system by which you "self-rank" - are you beginners to the game? Did 3 of your players start in last year's NCAA Sweet Sixteen? Somewhere in-between? We will help you slot into the right division that
will match the skill level of your players and those that you will face on the other teams. |

|
| Q3. |
Can other people from different companies play as one team? |
| A3. |
Sure, just name the team and let us know who gets the tax receipt. |
|
|
| Q4. |
Can women and men play on the same team? |
| A4. |
While there will be 2 women's divisions, there is no restriction for women playing in the "men's divisions" (there have been several in the past who have done so - including one in the top men's division) but there is a
restriction on men in the women's division - no go guys! |
|
|
| Q5. |
Who can watch the tournament and do they have to pay? |
| A5. |
Anyone can watch the tournament for free from the sidelines. However, spectator seats are not set up and space is limited - don't be discouraged though... we have never had to turn anyone away - always room for the team's fans. |
|
|
| Q6. |
How does the ladder system work? |
| A6. |
Each team is guaranteed 3 games during the round-robin play of the tournament - one game on each of Thursday and Friday evenings and then one more game on Saturday morning. The top 4 teams from each division will then go on to the playoff round with a semi-final and then final championship game. |
|
|
| Q7. |

Registration will begin on January 11, 2011. If you have any issues with registration, please send us a note to baystreethoops@gmail.com. |

| Q9. |
Are there prizes and awards for the winning teams? |
| A9. |
Yes, the team winning each division (4 men's and 2 women's) receives a trophy for that honour. Also, teams will win a cocktail part from Fionn MacCool's. There are also prizes for the winners of our 3-Point shoot out and miscellaneous prizes for MVPs etc |
