2018 Basketball

ATTENTION BASKETBALL COACHES: PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION SHEET

ONLINE REGISTRATION

THE NM GAMES IS OFFERING ONLINE REGISTRATION. Teams can register at newmexicogames.org. We are asking that all teams register online. We do however realize that this may not be possible for everyone. We will take mail or hand delivered entries. All mailed and hand delivered entries must be cash, money order or cashier's check.
No personal or business checks accepted.

Individual players will still need to turn in a signed waiver at check in. Coaches will still have the chance to change their roster at check-in.

Early bird registration will be through Friday, May 4, 2018. Early registration fee is $230.00. Senior early registration will be $130.00. After May 4th, regular fees will apply. Team registration will be $260.00 and senior team fee will be $160.00.

Teams MUST wear similar color jerseys with permanent numbers. No taped numbers. We ask that numbers be at least 4 inches tall. This applies to all teams in all divisions. Please be sure to read the rules that will be with your packet. You are responsible for informing your players and parents the rules.

In the past we have always allowed teams to have the option to play Friday night or not. Too many teams have opted not to play Friday, which has made scheduling very difficult. Teams that are 60 miles or more out of Albuquerque will be able to check that box. If you are an out of town team and do not check that box, then you may be scheduled to play. Once the schedule is made, it is too late to change. It is your responsibility to make sure the box has been checked. Albuquerque and surrounding area teams can expect to play on Friday. Not every team will play as we have only so many games that can be played that night, but you need to be ready to play if necessary. There are a few Albuquerque schools that have graduation on that night; let us know if you are one of those schools and we will work around that.

We will be offering early check-in. ***Early check-in will begin Wednesday, May 23rd after 9:00 am through Thursday, May 24th at 6:00 pm. You will need to turn in your roster and waivers at this time. After you have turned in these items, you will receive an unofficial copy of your bracket, t-shirts, rules, and player passes. After Thursday at 6:00 pm. you can pick up your packet etc. at the gym you play your first game. Each team will receive 10 player passes and 2 coach's passes. If you have more than 10 players, we will check your official roster and give you any additional passes at that time. You will only receive 2 coach's passes regardless of how many coaches you have. Please remind your players that they must keep these with them at all times during the weekend; they will need them to get in. Each team is allowed up to 12 t-shirts. You may only get shirts for players on the official roster. If you have more than 12 players on a team, additional shirts for them may be purchased at the time you check in for $5.00 each.
