University holds Basketball tournament for fourteen classes through October

Fourteen Classes Compete in Round-Robin Groups Through October 2026

Play runs through October 27, 2026, on the outdoor courts at the university’s south campus. The fourteen participating classes are divided into five distinct groups labeled A, B, C, D, and E for a round-robin schedule. Standings depend primarily on total wins, with point differentials serving as the tiebreaker when teams finish with identical records. Any team that forfeits a fixture automatically records a 20-0 defeat.

Matches Follow FIBA Rules with Two 20-Minute Halves

Two matches run simultaneously during game windows. Each contest lasts 45 minutes total, split into two 20-minute halves separated by a 5-minute halftime break. On-court officials enforce the latest FIBA regulations under the Official Basketball Rules 2026. Teams must arrive promptly; any squad failing to field players within ten minutes of the scheduled tip-off forfeits the match to their opponents.

Students Must Secure Insurance and Follow Health Guidelines

Organizers require all participating students to secure personal sports injury and accident insurance covering the entire dates of competition before stepping onto the court. Competitors must possess good physical health without chronic illnesses or medical prohibitions against vigorous exercise. University guidelines forbid participants from consuming alcohol or staying up late prior to matches, and prohibit carrying keys, sharp accessories, or other potential hazards during play. Participants must also complete proper warm-up routines and stretching exercises in designated areas outside the court boundaries prior to opening tip.
