Information contained in this bulletin has been developed by the CIF Southern Section Staff for use by Athletic Administrators and other selected school personnel to assist in conducting an efficient playoff program.

Administrators are advised to plan well in advance in arranging for alternate court sites. With such a short period of time between playoff dates, early planning will greatly assist this office in the area of securing officials, ticket distribution and notification of game sites and times to the media. Administrators should have the site of their next home game available, or on a tentative basis, before the next coin flip to allow for proper publicity to members of the media.

Each year, outstanding personnel are asked to serve on various Commissioner's Advisory Committees of the CIF-SS. These people, chosen for their experience, dedication and expertise, are invaluable in assisting with coordination of the 28 sport programs for boys and girls in our 583 member schools.

Responsibilities of the committee members cover the spectrum of meetings, recommendations with regard to procedural changes and rule changes, which are passed on to the National Federation, evaluation of the sport season, assistance to coaches' and/or officials' organizations and to serve as a liaison between the coaches and the CIF-SS Office.

Since the Sport Advisory inception years back, communication and feedback from the Basketball Association and the basketball coaches at large has been of such a positive nature, that this committee and others are an integral part of the working machinery for the CIF Southern Section and its continued leadership as noted throughout the nation in the area of interscholastic athletics.

In divisions where there are more than 32 automatic qualifiers, "wild card" games will be played to reduce the field to accommodate the bracket of 32 teams.

IMPORTANT: In divisions where there are openings in the bracket, AT-LARGE ENTRIES will be accepted to fill the bracket openings up to 32 teams. At-Large applicants must have a .500 or better overall record to be considered.

PAIRINGS

It will be the responsibility of the Commissioner and his staff to establish the pairings in each first round game of all divisions.

PLAYOFF PAIRING FORMAT

At the request of the Southern California Basketball Coaches Association (SCIBCA) along with the approval of the CIF-SS Basketball Advisory Committees, and in an effort to update, clarify and enhance the overall presentation of the CIF-SS Ford Basketball Championships, new language for the construction of playoff brackets has been adopted.

SEEDS - The initial step is to designate four teams in rank order as seeds, with No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 placed in the designated draw position in each quarter of the bracket (see diagram 1). Now, designate the next four teams in rank order as seeds, with No. 5, 6, 7, and 8 being placed in each quarter of the designated bracket (see diagram 1). Next, the teams designated as seeds No. 9, 10, 11, and 12 will be placed in each quarter of the designated bracket (see diagram 1). The last four teams in rank order designated as No. 13, 14, 15, and 16 will now be placed in each quarter of the designated bracket (see diagram 1).

CIF-SS BASKETBALL OPEN DIVISION

Opening Round for Open Division: Boys - Friday, February 17, 2017 Girls – Saturday, February 18, 2017

Selection of Open Division Teams: Up to 16 teams will be chosen at the end of the regular season for the CIF-SS Open Division. Open Division selections will be announced on Friday, February 10, 2017, at 3:00 p.m.

Criteria for Selection of CIF-SS Open Division teams and Seeding A Blue Ribbon committee will be formed by the CIF-SS to select the Open Division teams. Committee will be made up of current and former representatives of the CIF-SS Executive Committee, CIF-SS Basketball Coaches Advisory Committee, SCIBCA Executive Board, CIF State Basketball Coaches Advisory Committee and Media members.

1. Teams will be selected and seeded by the committee using the following criteria: (not weighted)  Strength of schedule  Overall Record  Freeman/Max Preps/CIF-SS Top 16 rankings  Strength at end of season (including roster additions/eligibility changes/winning & losing streaks/etc.)  Head to Head vs. Open Division Entries  Overall Record vs. Open Division Entries  Victory vs. Quality opponents  Quality loss  Unexpected loss

Open Division Pairing Format and Seeding: Seeding (see diagram #2) will follow the same steps as mentioned on page 12 and follow the adjustment provisions and process for filling the draw as indicated on page 13.

Open Division Home Playoff Site Selection: 1. In the first round of the Open Division, the higher seeded team will have the home game. a. Byes in the first round will receive automatic home games in the second round (quarter finals). 2. After the first round, teams will use the same criteria for home team selection as the CIF-SS playoff bulletin dictates. 3. For quarterfinal and semifinal games a. Team with the least number of home games b. Coin flip if equal number of games

Open Division Gym Size Minimum Requirement: Open Division games generate tremendous interest and require adequate facilities to accommodate the expected crowds for these Open Division games. A first round site may be changed by the CIF-SS Office, if the home gym would not accommodate the expected ticket sales, attendance and community interest. After the first round games on the championship side of the Open Division Bracket, it is mandated that the host school secure a gymnasium that has a posted basketball seating capacity of no less than 2000 spectators for boys and 1,000 for girls. Venues with less than these capacities must be approved by the CIF-SS Office. It is recommended that Open Division schools plan ahead to secure a site that meets this requirement.

California State Playoff Placement: 1. All participants in the CIF-SS Open Division will be guaranteed an automatic bid into the CIF- State Regional Playoffs. (see page 16) 2. All CIF Southern Section Champions will be guaranteed a CIF-State Playoff berth (see page 16) 3. Additional teams need for CIF-State playoff berths will selected using the same At-Large criteria that is currently in place (see page 16)

Adjustments to Seeding: Adjustments to this procedure would be made if the seeds in the same half/quarter of the bracket were from the same league.

Another adjustment may become necessary in order to ensure that the No. 1 and 2 entries from the same league are placed in opposite halves of the overall bracket.

Note: Throughout this process, a league No. 2 entry may not be seeded higher than the No. 1 entry from the same league, nor may a No. 3 league entry be seeded higher than the No. 2 entry from the same league.

Filling The Draw: The next step is to begin completing the draw by placing any remaining No. 2 league entries in the opposite half of the bracket from the No. 1 entries from the same league. The final step to complete the draw is to place the remaining No. 3 entries (along with any No. 4 entries, At-Large and/or Free Lance teams) from each of the respective leagues in the remaining open slots, attempting to place each in one of the remaining Aquarters@ of the bracket where the league is not represented. This process eliminates the aspect of schools from the same league meeting in the second round of competition. Exception: if the overall bracket holds less than 32 teams, it is possible for two teams from the same league to meet in the second round. This will be the case in the Open Division.

An exception to this procedure occurs where geography does not permit wide placement. The directive of the CIF Southern Section Council (from its meeting on March 13, 1980), directs schools be placed in the same half, and if necessary, quarter of the bracket, to curtail excessive travel, is followed.

LEAGUE CHANGE OF ENTRY

Once the draw sheet has been finalized by the CIF Southern Section Office and then notification is received that a league has made a mistake in submitting the proper entries in order of priority, this Office will exchange positions of the schools involved in the bracket from that league. No other changes will be made.

SOUTHERN SECTION CRITERIA FOR ENTRY INTO CIF STATE BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Each Section will determine the divisional placement for its schools who qualify for the state basketball championships and is required to submit the placement of schools into the five divisions to the State CIF Office by a pre-determined date. CIF member schools will be required to participate in the division that has been established by their respective Section. The exception is the “Open” division which will be determined by established criteria at a later date. There are no enrollment parameters for the “Open” division. Schools of ALL enrollment sizes that fulfill established criteria may be placed in the “Open” division.

CIF Southern Section schools will be placed in divisions for consideration in the California State Basketball Championships based on the Projected State Division Placement chart. Placement in the State Regional Championship is subject to change by CIF State selection committee which has final say in division placement.

CIF State Open Division – The Southern Section will select four (4) teams (no enrollment parameters) to compete in the CIF State Open Division. Each regional “open” division tournament will have a maximum of eight teams. The tournament committee will select the teams for the “open” division before they seed the five divisions of the State Tournament. There is no “opt out” provision for schools selected for the “Open” division who fulfill established criteria.

The following criteria will be utilized to select the teams for the Open Division for the CIF State Basketball Tournament. A school needs to only satisfy one of the criteria below to be considered:  A school must have won two consecutive section basketball championships; or a school must have qualified for the regional championships for three of the past four years.  A school qualifies for the second straight year after competing in the state or regional final the previous year.  A school qualifying for their regional playoffs may request to be placed in the open division.  A school was ranked in the Top Ten of Cal Hi Basketball, Cal Preps and/or MaxPreps Rankings (early March) the past two years (current year and previous year).  A school competes in its section’s Open Division semifinal.

Evaluation Tool:  A school’s strength of schedule will be used to evaluate the strength of the program. (i.e., regional or national type of schedule).

Entry Cap:  No more than four teams may be selected from any one of the ten sections  Sections may choose to replace selected teams in the division from which they were selected.

DETERMINATION OF SITES (See page 14 for Open Division site selection)

To decide who shall be the host team after the first round of competition will be the sole responsibility of the Commissioner. In cases where two teams are paired after the first round of the playoffs, the team having the fewest number of home games in playoff competition shall be designated as the host team. When both teams have had an equal number of home playoff contests, the Commissioner shall toss a coin to decide the host team. When a school has been designated as the host school for a playoff contest it shall (1) act in that capacity unless excused by the Commissioner and (2) be considered the host team regardless of where the game is being played. SPECIAL NOTE: Teams receiving a bye in the first round shall automatically be the host team in the next round of the playoffs. The bye received in the first round shall not count toward the total number of home games played.

The host school is charged with the responsibility of securing an adequate gymnasium for the holding of a basketball playoff contest. All sites must be approved by the Office of the Commissioner of Athletics. It is recommended that where available and when approved, playoff games shall be played in rent-free high school gymnasiums, but in cases where it is necessary to pay a rental fee for an outside gymnasium, such an arrangement must be approved by the Commissioner prior to the contest.

Competing schools are reminded that CIF-SS playoff basketball games, while they may be played at one school, are under the control of the CIF-SS. Both competing schools in any one game are given equal consideration in regard to seating. If, in the Commissioner's opinion, the host team gym is not large enough to accommodate the anticipated crowd, the host team will be required to reserve one-half of the gym's capacity for the visiting school's rooters.

GAME SITES

The Commissioner's Office has been delegated the authority to determine the sites of all basketball playoff contests. For all games other than those at the Honda Center, Azusa Pacific University, or Godinez High School, the office will be guided in this decision by the following factors: (1) size of courts, (2) lighting, (3) seating capacity as it relates to a specific contest, (4) parking facilities, (5) type of backboards, (6) press facilities available, (7) availability of an alternate gym in the area, (8) results of the most recent Basketball Facility Survey.

SPECIAL NOTE: Starting with the 2011-12 playoff season, all divisions for BOTH boys and girls basketball, the semifinal games shall be played on HOST COURTS. For any playoff contest, the Commissioner may direct that the contest be played on an alternate court if the host court does not meet CIF-SS playoff standards or will not accommodate the anticipated crowd.

PRACTICE IN ALTERNATE GYMS

Whenever a playoff game is scheduled for an alternate gym, neither team will be permitted to practice in that gym prior to the contest. The visiting team may not practice prior to the game on its opponent's home court.

ALTERNATE GYM DEFINED

An alternate gym is defined as any site on which a team does not conduct practice. A team may schedule more than one game in the same gym, and the facility would still be considered an "alternate" gym as long as NO practice session was conducted in that facility. In games where a team is entitled to a host court, but its regular gym does not have adequate seating capacity to meet playoff standards and the game is ordered to be played at another facility, that team may conduct practice at this facility prior to the contest. 19

PLANNING MEETINGS

It is required that administrators from the two competing schools get together to discuss details connected with the staging of the contest. Visiting students and supporters should be given detailed information regarding the best method of reaching the site of the contest, where to park, where to enter the facility and where their allotted seats are located. The half-time entertainment and all activities connected with the game should be thoroughly worked out.

Special planning meetings will be held for those teams involved in games under the direct management of the Commissioner. Schools will be notified of the exact sites and times of the planning meetings.

* * * COIN FLIPS * * * The coin flips for second round games will be held in advance of the first round games under the direction of the Commissioner on Tuesday, February 14, 2017. Coin Flips will be conducted at the CIF Southern Section Office. All subsequent coin flips will be done in advance and are the coin flip dates are listed below. Results of these flips can be found on the boy/girls basketball sports pages of our website (www.cifss.org) under the button labeled COIN FLIPS. These will be posted after 4:00 p.m. on the day of the coin flips.

Winners in each round of the playoffs must be ready the next morning to give to the CIF-SS Office their selected playing site for the next round should they be the host school.

GAME ARRANGEMENTS

With a very limited amount of time between each round of the playoffs, a tremendous strain is placed on the staff at the CIF-SS Office in arranging the details connected with insuring a successful playoff activity. Game sites must be established, officials secured, tickets mailed, press credentials issued, and press releases distributed. The basketball office will be closed on Saturday and Sunday, February 18 and 19 and Saturday and Sunday, February 25 and 26, 2017. Please DO NOT call or come by the office on these days as there will be no one to help you for basketball. All calls, ticket pick-ups, etc. will be handled on Monday, February 20, 2017 and Monday, February 27, 2017 for games the following week.

GAME MANAGEMENT FORMS

Each school having a possibility of qualifying for the basketball playoffs is responsible for submitting a Playoff Game Management Form through cifsshome.org. This form will provide our office with necessary information concerning either your host gymnasium or a nearby facility where you may be conducting a playoff game. The information submitted will be carefully reviewed and schools will be notified if approval is not granted to conduct a game at the facility listed.

STATE BASKETBALL PLAYOFFS

The 2016-2017 CIF Regional and State basketball playoffs in March will be conducted in six divisions for both boys and girls.

GAME ADMINISTRATION INFORMATION

EQUAL FACILITIES

Although it is necessary that one team be designated as the host team, it shall be kept in mind that the game belongs to both competing schools and facility seating must be split equally. A pre-game planning meeting must be conducted to plan all details connected with the staging of every playoff contest.

ELIGIBILITY LISTS

One eligibility list, which will suffice for the entire playoff duration, must be submitted on cifsshome.org prior to the first playoff game.

TEAM SIZE

Each school participating in the CIF Southern Section Basketball Playoffs will be permitted to suit up not more than 17 players.

GAME JERSEYS

The host team shall wear white jerseys and the visiting team dark-colored jerseys, for all playoff contests. If a team has only one set of jerseys, it will be that school's responsibility to notify its opponent in sufficient time in advance of any scheduled contest, so that proper arrangements can be made to make certain that both teams have contrasting colored jerseys.

GAME BALL

The game ball to be used in all CIF Southern Section Basketball Playoff games will be a LEATHER BALL provided by the host team. The SPALDING TF-1000 Classic NFHS, SPALDING TF-1000 Legacy NFHS or SPALDING TF1000 Classic ZK (boys) and the SPALDING TF-1000 28.5 Classic NFHS, SPALDING TF-1000 Legacy 28.5 NFHS or SPALDING TF1000 Classic ZK (girl) will be the ball used for all rounds of the playoffs. The SPALDING TF-1000 Classic NFHS and SPALDING TF- 1000 28.5 Classic NFHS balls, which will be provided by the CIF-SS Office, will be the balls used in the CIF-SS Ford Championship Finals games.

GAME OFFICIALS

Officials for all playoff games will be coordinated through the CIF-SS Office and the Assignment Coordinator. In games leading to the championship game, each official shall receive $84 for 2 officials and $80 for 3 officials. In championship games, each official will receive $92 for 2 officials or $88 for 3 officials. (see Bluebook rule 1221.0)

Mileage fees, due to excess travel distance, will be confirmed by the assignment coordinator. Officials will be appointed, whenever possible, from neutral officials' associations. You will be notified of your officials in advance and we ask that you DO NOT call the CIF-SS Office due to the heavy phone traffic during playoffs. However, if the host school has not been advised regarding officials by 12 noon on game day, please contact Bob McQueen, (626) 285-6608 or John Moore, (949) 233-6875.

SCHOOLS ARE NOT TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THEIR OWN OFFICIALS.

OFFICIAL SCORER AND CLOCK OPERATOR

The official scorer and clock operators are recognized as game officials and it is required that a faculty member or other qualified responsible ADULT staff these important positions. The official scorer (scorebook) MUST wear a black/white vertical striped shirt/pinney per NFHS guidelines.

CHECK TIMER

The check timer for playoff games shall be a faculty member or responsible adult. If the visiting team does not supply a check timer, the host team facility timer alone is responsible.

35/30 SECOND CLOCKS

The 35-second clock shall be used for all boys basketball contests and the 30-second clock shall be used for all girls basketball contests. A visible clock is highly recommended for all playoff contests.

ANNOUNCER (Please read prior to start of each contest)

The announcer should be a responsible adult who can set the tone of the game by calling the fans' attention to the following points of reference:

1. CIF-SS playoff contests are conducted under the strictest code of good sportsmanship.

2. The officials are neutral individuals, representing the Commissioner and have been selected because of demonstrated ability.

3. Rooters are encouraged to support their own team and are requested to display proper sportsmanship with respect to the visiting school and the officials. The CIF-SS appreciates your attendance and support of high school basketball.

CHEERING SECTIONS

Fan/Student cheering sections are encouraged to cheer and support their own team and should display proper sportsmanship with respect to the opposing team and the game officials. They are expected to follow the following guidelines and failure to do so may lead to removal from the contest and/or forfeiture of the contest. 1. No noisemakers (horns, bells, victory bells, sirens, chimes, wooden blocks, balloons, thunder sticks, etc.). Megaphones may only be used by the school’s uniformed cheer squads. 2. Cheering devices such as rally towels, pom poms and pennants are acceptable when used within the bounds of good sportsmanship. 3. Face painting is acceptable from the neck up only and shall not include any inappropriate letters or symbols. Assigned school staff shall monitor their cheering sections in regards to face painting. 4. It is the expectation that cheering section behavior will be monitored by the assigned school staff of the school that they represent. All improper behavior/language should be addressed and corrected immediately by school staff supervisors. 5. Rules are subject to specific event and/or venue limitations.

PEP BAND, CHEERING SQUADS

If the host school has a band of not more than 12 members capable of contributing to the entertainment, there is no objection to having it play before games and during intermissions. Under no circumstances may the band instruments be used for cheering purposes. Electronic amplification is prohibited.

Even though additional members of the band purchase tickets, not more than 12 members may comprise the pep band. Because a number of gymnasiums have poor acoustics, it has been necessary to limit the number of players in a pep band. The noise generated by a large band in a gym with poor acoustics is annoying to spectators and distracting to players.

No band, other than the one from the host school, shall be admitted as an organization except by special permission of the Commissioner, who will act upon petition by the principal of the host school. Under no circumstances may more than 12 members comprise a pep band at playoff games.

Members of an authorized pep, yell and/or song squad from both competing schools shall be admitted free of charge if in uniform and accompanied by an adult supervisor.

SPECIAL NOTE: For all championship games, school pep bands will be allowed no more than 21 members and school pep squads will be allowed no more than 12 uniformed members.

POSTERS AND BANNERS

Posters and banners are an excellent way of creating good sportsmanship between competing schools. Only those posters and banners exhibiting this concept will be permitted.

PROTESTS

By action of the CIF-SS Council, protests of playoff contests involving National Federation rules will no longer be entertained following the conclusion of the contest.

Coaches may direct questions to the game officials as they pertain to a possible misapplication of the rules in accordance with the National Federation rules governing that sport. No protest may be carried forth once the contest is complete.

Coaches are encouraged to carry National Federation rule books with them for all playoff contests.

Schools will still have the opportunity to protest a contest in accordance with Southern Section rules, Rule 1111, as it pertains to use of ineligible player or violations of any CIF-SS rule in accordance with the contest.

TICKETS

For games under the direct control of the Commissioner's Office, tickets will be issued to competing schools in accordance with their request. Unsold tickets for games in all divisions must be brought to the final game by an official representative of the school prior to the opening of ticket windows (or an hour before the start of your game) on the day of the game, so that the tickets might be placed on general sale.

AWARDS

CIF-SS regulations provide for seventeen individual patches to be furnished to members of the championship team in each playoff division. Runner-up teams will receive seventeen individual medals.

The championship and runner-up team in each division will each receive a CIF-SS permanent trophy which will be retained by the school.

Team and individual awards will be presented immediately following each boys and girls championship contest.

Please refer to attached flyer for additional information regarding awards, souvenirs, and vendors.

SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS

Each year, the Southern California Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association (SCIBCA) honors outstanding coaches for their contribution to high school basketball in Southern California. Time is provided during the evening of the championship games for this presentation.

When deemed appropriate, the CIF-SS honors people who have made contributions to its interscholastic program. In addition, many former outstanding CIF-SS championship teams are recognized. Time is provided during the evening double-header at the championship game for these presentations.

DATE: January, 2017

TO: Principals/Game Managers/Financial Clerks

FROM: Rob Wigod, Commissioner of Athletics

SUBJECT: Financial Accountability and Responsibility

For the past few years, there have been several of our member schools who have misrepresented their home game attendance figures and jeopardized the split with the visiting school. After resolving these matters with the schools involved, the subject of playoff accountability/responsibility was discussed in one of our Executive Committee Meetings and thus, this special bulletin is being sent to you.

Failure to provide proper accounting of playoff games can and will result in the school losing the privilege of playing any home games during the playoffs. This will be enforced this year however, it is hoped we will not have to resort to such extreme action.

Please carefully review the Financial Regulations (pages 43-52) in the Basketball Championship Playoff Bulletin. As you prepare for ticket accountability, remember that schools are not permitted to have guest passes. Everyone pays as each school is allowed only 15 complimentary tickets per game. Also pay special attention to the sections that address gate procedures, admission of faculty and ticket accounting procedures.

By giving full attention to the details and following the Financial Regulations as listed, you will be able to accurately complete your financial reports in a timely manner. Shorting your reports hurt everyone involved, including your own school.

If you should have further questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

FINANCIAL REGULATIONS - BOYS AND GIRLS

RESPONSIBILITY

The principal of each school participating in the CIF Southern Section Ford Basketball Playoffs is responsible to see that prescribed procedures pertaining to playoff regulations, as outlined in this section, are followed. If the principal so desires, this responsibility may be delegated to a member of his/her staff.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION MUST BE SUBMITTED ONLINE AT www.cifsshome.org

FINANCIAL REPORTING PROCEDURE – Visiting School and Host School

Both the visiting school and the host school must complete financial information. The visiting school must submit travel information before the host school completes the expenditure form.

 Within 3 school days following the game, the visiting school must enter any round trip mileage, meals or lodging expenses that were approved by the CIF-SS office prior to the game. (See page 42 for mileage, meals and lodging information)

 When visiting school has completed their financial form, the host school will have the ability to report revenue and expenses for conducting the contest. Host schools are expected to submit only exact expenditures, within the maximums established (i.e., all security costs exceeding $350.00 must have prior approval from CIF-SS.

 The host school will account for the revenue from the game, pay all expenses for the game, and compile the financial report www.cifsshome.org.

 In the case of a profit, the host school to send completed financial report and profit remittance to the CIF-SS office. Please send a check for revenue, do not send cash!

 Net profits from all games shall be split with 20% going to each school and 60% to the CIF-SS.

 Any loss will be split equally by the two schools. Schools are expected to submit only the exact expenditures. In all cases these expenses shall be within the maximums established. All receipts and expenses from both schools are to be listed on the financial report www.cifsshome.org with the net loss figure shown at the bottom. This amount is to be split equally in half, and then deducted from each school's expenses, thus giving a proportionate share of the loss to each school.

SPECIAL NOTE: Completed Financial reports MUST be submitted within 10 days after the contest. As provided in CIF-SS Blue Book Rule 145, after a reasonable request from the Commissioner's Office, schools that continue to be delinquent with financial reports will not be allowed to host a game during the playoffs in all sports for a period of one year.

The CIF-SS Executive Committee has required that the host school charge admission to boys and girls playoff contests. (See Financial Policy Article 1, Section 140-149, CIF-SS Blue Book, pages 63-64.)

TRAVEL EXPENSE STATEMENT – VISITING TEAM

The visiting school will pay its own traveling expenses and will input this information online at www.cifsshome.org for reimbursement. This information must be input within three (3) school days following the game. These expenses would include mileage for transportation and lodging and/or meals that where approved prior to the game. Traveling expenses of the visiting team are considered part of the game expenses.

MIEALEGE TRAVEL EXPENSE

The CIF-SS Council has set the allowable travel expense as it pertains to Boys and Girls Basketball Traveling squads shall be limited to a maximum of 17 in the party, including players, coaches, manager, and administrators. Schools may take additional personnel if they wish, but at their own expense.

• Basketball travel allowance by CIF-SS office includes: $1.50 per mile for chartered or school bus – Actual cost of bus is not an allowable expense. $0.50 per mile for private automobile/school van (limit 3)

CIF-SS encourages schools to utilize private automobile transportation when possible in an effort to keep the travel allowance at a minimum and possible financial loss to schools involved. Please pass this information along to the person on your campus charged with completing the financial report form.

MEALS AND LODGING TRAVEL EXPENSE

Meals and lodging must be approved by the CIF-SS office PRIOR to traveling. No allowance will be given if arrangements are not made prior to travel.

Meals: The number of meals allowed a school will be determined by the CIF-SS Office on the basis of distance traveled and the scheduled time of the game. No meals will be authorized when the travel distance is less than 140 miles round trip.

When approved, meal reimbursement maximums are:  $3.00 for breakfast ………per person for up to a party of 17  $5.00 for lunch …. …..per person for up to a party of 17  $8.00 for dinner ……… per person for up to a party of 17

Mileage: Mileage must be verified by contacting the CIF Southern Section.

Lodging: If traveling over 550 miles, please contact CIF-SS office for lodging reimbursement authorization. Maximum reimbursement for lodging will not exceed $10.00 per person for a group of no more than 17 people.

CONCESSIONS AND PROGRAMS

Where concessions and programs are involved in a playoff contest, the profit or loss from such enterprises shall not be included in the financial report. The host school reserves the right to handle the program and concessions as a separate venture and need not share the profit nor expect the CIF- SS or the visiting school to share in any loss.

The CIF-SS Office will publish the program for all games under its direct management. All revenue from the sale of these programs will be separate from game income.

GAME PERSONNEL

The host management is responsible for staffing the gymnasium with the personnel necessary to conduct the contest. It would be expected that the same pay schedule followed for league contests would be used to reimburse ticket sellers, ticket takers, police, physician and custodial help. In determining the pay scale for working personnel in playoff games, schools are reminded that it should be computed on the basis of one contest instead of two contests as is customary in regular league play.

In playoff contests, payment to faculty personnel to supervise a rooting section is not an allowable expense and may not be charged to game expense. It is realized that some schools pay faculty persons to supervise rooting sections in league contests, but because this is not the policy in many schools, the Executive Committee has ruled that if a school (host or visitor) desires to pay such personnel, it shall do so out of its share of the net receipts and not charge the cost to the game expense.

There is a wide disparity of staffing policies for athletic contests among schools in the Southern Section. Because of this, schools in the playoffs are asked to assign the minimum number of personnel necessary to assure efficiency and safety.

GATE PROCEDURES

All schools hosting playoff contests should make certain that gate personnel handling tickets are advised of the following procedures:

1. All paying attendees must receive a CIF-SS issued ticket.

2. All tickets presented for admission are to be torn in half to prevent further use.

3. All tickets are to be checked for appropriate color. This is to prevent someone from entering with a ticket designated for another game or with a ticket that was used for the previous playoff round. This also prevents an adult from entering with a student/child ticket, etc.

4. All ticket-takers and gate personnel should familiarize themselves with the CIF-SS Press Pass, CIF-SS Photo Pass and CIF-SS Courtesy Card. (See page 44 and 50)

ADMISSION OF WORKING FACULTY PERSONNEL

BOTH SCHOOLS: Only those regular faculty personnel from the competing schools who have been assigned definite supervisory responsibilities for the playoff game will be admitted free of charge. No other administrators, counselors, faculty or staff members will be admitted without a complimentary or general admission ticket.

HOST SCHOOL: The host school shall submit its designated number of working faculty personnel (i.e., supervisors for reserved seat areas or rooting sections, and other related assignments) as part of the Game Management Form which is required by the CIF-SS Office prior to each scheduled playoff game.

VISITING SCHOOL: The visiting school shall submit its list of working faculty personnel (i.e., supervisors for rooters buses and rooting sections) directly to the host school prior to the date of the game, with a copy to be forwarded to the CIF-SS Office for attachment to the appropriate Game Management Form. 43

COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS

Each school participating in the CIF-SS Basketball Playoffs will receive an allotment of 15 general admission tickets for each game in which they compete. If additional tickets are desired, they must be purchased by the school. Drivers of team and rooter buses must be provided with tickets by the school; they will not be admitted without a ticket. Complimentary tickets may also to be used for scouting purposes.

Ticket sales for all games, except those under the direct management of the Commissioner's Office, will be controlled by competing schools. The host school is responsible for ticket accounting for the game. Hand stamps not permitted in lieu of the purchase of a CIF-SS ticket.

Playoff tickets for each school will be available at the CIF-SS office or at a designated, geographical remote distribution site.

GUIDELINES FOR TICKET SELLERS

PRE-GAME TICKET SALES

Presale tickets must be requested and picked up at the CIF-SS office or one of the designated remote sites. The accounting for both general admission and student/child presale tickets is done via the website (www.cifsshome.org).

The visiting school should send any unsold/unused tickets back to the CIF-SS office.
