Wind-up Meeting
The Vancouver & District Basketball Chairperson has called this meeting for 4:00 p.m.
on April 8th, 2009, at Schou Education Centre, Burnaby. The V & D Track meeting will
follow at 4:30 pm.
LOCAL ASSOCIATION REPRESENTATIVES
Local Association representatives to the Vancouver & District Playoffs must be declared no
later than February 17th, 2009:
As soon as a Local Association has determined its representatives for a particular age division,
the Local Association Chairman must report the following information to the Vancouver &
District Basketball Chairperson, Art Uhl and the respective tournament directors (see page 1
for contact information):
Age Division, School, Dominant Uniform Colour
Coaches Sponsor and contact information
OFFICIALS
The League Chairperson of the hosting Local Association in each age division will arrange for
certified referees for each game in their Wildcard and Championship Games.
Referee Allocator: Bill Bradley (see page 1 for telephone and fax numbers)
The Vancouver & District Association will pay for all officials unless otherwise noted. Ask the
Referee Allocator to direct all bills to David Cairns (see page 1 for address). If no professional
referees are available, the League Chairperson of the hosting Local Association must ensure
two competent referees are present. In the event only one referee arrives, the game may take
place if that official agrees to officiate.
4.
CODE OF CONDUCT
The Vancouver & District Inter-High School Athletic Association fully support the Codes of
Conduct published by B.C. School Sports with regards to spectators, players and coaches. In
particular:
“The practice of student-athletes changing on the bench is not an acceptable practice for either
the men or the women and can be viewed as quite offensive given the increasing cultural
diversity that we now have throughout our education system. School sports are an extension
of the classroom, where this practice would not be tolerated.
This is not acceptable behaviour and players WILL return to the changing rooms to change in
their practice jerseys or playing uniform.
5.
GAME DIRECTOR
A Game Director shall be arranged for each game by the host school. That person must be
knowledgeable about basketball and shall not be a Coach that is directly involved in the
tournament.
The names of the Game Directors must be submitted to the host Association's District
Athletic Coordinator prior to the tournament. See “Game Directors Duties” on the next
page.

Illegal Defences:
Zone presses and zone defences are not permitted at the following levels:
Bantam Boys
Bantam Girls
Juvenile Girls
Zone defences are not permitted but zone presses are permitted at the following level:
Juvenile Boys.
No restrictions for Junior Boys and Junior Girls.
i. Guidelines for Determining Illegal Defences:
(a) No zone defences of any description are permitted. This includes half-court,
full-court, etc. (except for Juvenile Boys which may have a zone press until the ball
crosses the centre line).
(b) Teams may double team an opponent with the ball, they may also double team the
potential receiver of an inbounds pass. They may not double team any other
players
(c) Players may switch checks but only after communicating with a team-mate.
Unforced switches are discouraged.
(d) Determining that players are playing man-to-man defence:
 each player must be guarding a specific opponent, not an area.
 each player must know whom he / she is guarding at all times.
 each player must be in close proximity to or have sight of his / her check and
must be able to put pressure on a possible shot. (It is possible to have helpside defence, but it is incumbent on the offence to use a cutter through the key
to see if he / she is followed.)
 defenders must go with cutters and switch only after communicating with
team-mates.
ii. Procedures:
(a) If a Coach appeals to the Game Director that the other team is using an illegal
defence, it is up to the offensive team to prove it (e.g. send a cutter through the
key to see if the cutter is followed),
(b) If an illegal defence is determined by the Game Director (and this may be done
with or without a coach's appeal), the following procedures are to take place:
(1) Stop the game at the first whistle or basket and nullify any gained advantage
(e.g. time, points) by the offending team, and
(ii) give warning to appropriate team.
(iii) second infraction to the same team: technical against coach (2 foul shots
and possession of the ball at centre to the non-offending team). Third
infraction to the same team: same as (iii).
(v) fourth infraction to the same team: forfeiture of the game.

VANCOUVER & DISTRICT PLAYOFF DETAILS
PLAYOFF STRUCTURE *Venues
Tournament seeding is based on the following priorities:
Every effort will be made to ensure that:
1. teams from the same association do not meet in the first round of
playoffs;
2. the host association’s #1 team will be placed opposite the #1 teams
from the other two associations;
3. as host zone responsibilities rotate so will the draw.
The first and second place teams in each association qualify automatically for the
Vancouver & District Championship Tournament along with the third place team from the
host association.
The third place teams from the other two associations will play a Vancouver & District
Wildcard game at a single site in the local association that hosts this level of the
tournament next year. This site will be determined and arranged for by the home
association.
The Vancouver & District Tournament will be a modified single elimination championship
format for eight teams, allowing for a consolation third place game.
