Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about this year's Las Vegas Invitational basketball tournament. If you have any additional questions that are not answered below (or elsewhere on this website), please send your questions to .
Q: When will the game schedules be available?
A: The schedules will be posted on this site about a month prior to the tournamet. Please check back then.
Q: How can I add a player to my roster?
A: The deadline to add players to your roster has now passed.
Q: What time will our games be held?
A: The tournament games start at 7:00pm on Friday and end at 11:00pm. The games will continue at 10:00am on Saturday and end at 5:15pm. There are no games on Sunday.
Q: When are check-in and check-out times?
A: Check-in is at 3:00 PM. Early check-in will only be allowed if the room is available at time of arrival.
Check-out is at 12:00 Noon. At this time, your key will go dead. Extended check-outs will not be granted through the hotel. They can only be done on Sunday by calling room 2204 and for good reason only.
Q: Can we request a certain game time?
A: Because of the vast number of teams involved in the tournament, we will only take requests for 7:00pm games on Friday.
Q: Can our team move down?
A: In most cases, the team that wins the championship in each division automatically moves up one division. In some cases it could be more than one division. The team that gets double eliminated (Loses both games without winning a game) by the most amount of points gets to move down unless that team requests to stay in that division. The one exception to this policy is if a team gets double eliminated two years in a row but in each year it is not by the most amount of points. In this case, the team gets priority in moving down.
Q: Can our team move up even though we did not win our division?
A: In most cases, any team wishing to move up may do so as long as space permits.
Q: Will I receive a T-shirt for participating in the tournament?
A: All teams will receive up to ten T-shirts for their players for participating in this year's tournament.
Q: How can I get my T-shirt?
A: T-shirts will be available at the Orleans Hotel, Room TBA starting on Saturday from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM and on Sunday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please send ONE representative from yourteam to pick up ALL the T-shirts for your entire team. We will not give them away individually, and you must sign for all of them. Any T-shirts not claimed at these times will be donated to the hotel staff. T-shirts will not be sent or brought back to you.
