Linn-Mar High School basketball players work the scorers’ tables & we try very hard to have 2 certified officials working each game.
The Junior Lion Tournament is designed for school teams only. In order to participate in the Junior Lion Tournament all players must fit in one of the following 2 categories (NO EXEMPTIONS!):
1) All players are enrolled at the same middle school or junior high,
2) All players are currently attending middle schools or junior highs that directly feed the same high school. With open enrollment, anyone can say they are attending any school next year. Our entries are based on where the player is CURRENTLY enrolled. If a team has players that don’t meet at least 1 of the 2 conditions listed above but would still like to participate in the tournament, the team must play up one grade level higher than their “oldest” player.
