The rules of the 1 on 1 Tournament presented by Sprite are as follows:

1st and 2nd Rounds, Quarterfinals, and Semi-finals will be single elimination, with games played to a winning score of 11 points, OR to 10 minutes in length (whichever is reached first). The Finals will be a best-of-three series, also with a winning score of 11 points.
The clock will not stop for the duration of the game.
There will be a seven (7)-second shot clock for each possession.
If a player makes their shot, they get the next possession (make-it, take-it).
There will be traditional scoring rules, a two (2)-point shot still counts for two (2) points, and a three (3)-point shot counts for three (3) points.
