HOME TEAM:
The Home Team (higher-seeded team) shall wear white/light jerseys.  The Home Team bench shall be to the left of the scorer's table when facing the center of the floor.

SCOREBOOK:
The "Home Team" is responsible for providing the official scorer/scorebook for all contests prior to the Finals.

LOCKER ROOMS: 
All coaches should check in with the host site director or coach.  Coaches and team members using locker facilities should NOT assume that there will be "full time" supervision of these facilities during Tournament play.  In view of this fact, it is incumbent upon each team to make their own arrangements for safeguarding their personnel's valuables.

TEAM ROSTERS:  [NOTE: DO NOT SUBMIT A TEAM PICTURE]
Team rosters are due in the CCS Office on or before FEBRUARY 1ST, in order to be included in the Tournament program.  Coaches are strongly encouraged to submit rosters on-line (www.cifccs.org , then follow prompts).  Rosters may also be faxed/mailed/hand-carried to the CCS office.

PARKING:
A.   
For all contests located at college and municipal facilities, parents and other spectators should be made aware that
        there may be a charge for parking, and, therefore, should allow extra time for possible delays.
B.    CCS member-schools hosting 1st-Round contests are NOT allowed to charge for parking at any CCS Play-off contest.

ADMISSION PRICES:  (NOTE:  There is no pre-sale of CCS Basketball Play-offs tickets at school sites.)

ROUNDS ADULTS SENIOR CITIZENS STUDENTS CHILDREN FAMILY
1st & 2nd $6 $4 $3 $2 $12
Qtr-Finals $7 $5 $4 $2 $14
Semi-Finals $7 $5 $4 $2 $14
Finals $8 $5 $4 $2 $16

FLOOR PASSES:
A.
    At the Finals, coaches, stats-persons, team managers, trainers and all other team personnel not in full uniform must
        wear a CCS-issued floor pass in order to have access to the team bench area on the sidelines.  (CCS staff will issue
        the appropriate supply of floor passes to the head coach upon his/her arrival at the Finals venue.)
B.    In 1st-Round contests, host schools are also encouraged to use their own floor passes, in coordination with visiting
        schools.
C.    IMPORTANT!  Floor passes are NOT valid for free admission to the contest - they are only to be used for access to
        the team bench area during that team's contest.

EQUIPMENT:
SPALDING is the official CCS Tournament Basketball.  ALL GAMES will be played using a SPALDING Basketball.

GAME SUPERVISION:
Adequate student-spectator supervision MUST be provided by each school participating in the Tournament.  School administrators/faculty who attend the contest should introduce themselves to the CCS Site Director, and tell him/her where they will be located throughout the contest in case their assistance is needed.  It is the responsibility of the school supervisory personnel to prevent and correct any inappropriate behavior of their students or spectators.

SPORTSMANSHIP: See CCS Tournament Guide – Section 12.

Any player or coach who is disqualified from a CCS Play-off contest for flagrant misconduct or
unsportsmanlike behavior shall be disqualified from all remaining contests in that sport that season,
including Nor-Cal and CIF State Championships.

TOURNAMENT T-SHIRTS / HATS:
The CCS Tournament T-Shirt Order Form is included in the CCS Tournament Guide.  Official CCS T-shirts ($12.00 per shirt) and hats ($15.00 per hat) will be available at the Seeding Meeting.  While supplies last, T-shirts and hats will be on sale at Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals and Finals Tournament sites.

RADIO / TV LICENSING:
CCS owns the broadcast rights for all CCS Play-off contests.  Licensing is required.  To ensure coordination of appropriate paperwork and fees, interested media must contact the CCS Commissioner well before the respective contest to be broadcast.  No live TV broadcasts are allowed.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PARTICIPANTS AND COACHES:
The CIF-Central Coast Section is well aware that many other school and non-school activities (AP tests, SAT/ACT tests, proms, plays, holidays, senior trips, religious days, etc.) may occur during CCS Play-offs.  The CCS tries to avoid as many conflicts as possible; however, with so many activities available for today's student-athlete, it is not reasonable to assume that all such activities can be taken into account, and thus, CCS Play-off events will go on as originally scheduled.  Participants and coaches are therefore expected to plan in advance for such possible scheduling conflicts and make those difficult choices as to which events will take precedence for that individual.  Generally, although it is ultimately the personal choice of the student-athlete and/or his/her parent(s), an academic activity should take precedence over an extra-curricular event.

STATE CIF / NOR-CAL TOURNAMENT INFORMATION:
:
State CIF / Nor-Cal Tournament Information Packets will be distributed at the CCS Seeding Meeting to the top four (4) seeds in each Division.
