Welcome to the Arizona Cactus Classic-2007 May 18, 2007 Dear Basketball Enthusiast: I say “Basketball Enthusiast” because if you are sponsoring, playing, scouting, or attending the 2nd Annual Arizona Cactus Classic then you really must be a basketball enthusiast. With 79 basketball games to be played in two and a half days, this event is truly for those who enjoy the wonderful game of basketball. Thank you for choosing to be a part of this unique basketball environment. I know that many of you have come to Tucson, Arizona from a long distance and I appreciate your willingness to be a part of this event. There have been many people and businesses that have helped make this event possible through their volunteerism and fi nancial support. Without this support, I know this event would not be achievable. First and defi nitely foremost, I would like to thank John Rowe and Precision Toyota for their incredibly generous sponsorship. Without John’s support this tournament would not be happening. I’d also like to thank First Magnus and the many additional sponsors and individuals that have helped make the Arizona Cactus Classic one of the premier tournaments in the country in only its second year. This year the lineup of teams and players is even better than last year. Many top teams are returning and several new elite teams are participating this year. With dozens of top-rated players attending, I am confi dent that there will be fi erce competition and entertaining basketball. Be sure to mark your calendar for next year - the 3rd Annual Arizona Cactus Classic returns from May 16-18, 2008. I hope that you have a wonderful time in Tucson, Arizona and that you enjoy the Arizona Cactus Classic.

Seeding from each pool will be determined by win-loss record in pool play. Incase of ties, head-to- head competition determines seed. If 3 teams are tied, a point system comes into effect. There is a maximum of +15 for a win in pool and -15 for a loss in pool. All games in pool are included in fi guring point system. In case teams are still tied, the least total points allowed in pool play will determine the higher seed. In case there is still a tie, a coin toss will determine seeding. 13. At the end of pool play, check brackets at headquarters for seeding as you might play within a few hours. In case of changes, the brackets at McKale Memorial Center Headquarters are fi nal and offi - cial. Please check with the gym you are playing in order to verify any bracket times and locations.

If a team is found to have an illegal player (over age), they will receive losses for all games played and possibly be disqualifi ed from the tournament. The player in question will not be allowed to play. For all teams, bring proof of age/grade of all your players with you at the tournament. This is important. 16.
