Team Names Court Monitor Other Opportunities Hoopfest couldn't exist as a premier tournament without the incredible efforts by volunteer court monitors. One court monitor is assigned to each court on the Hoopfest site. The monitor is responsible for ensuring that games stay on a timely schedule and that an accurate score is kept.
Monitors also make final decisions on any disagreements between teams.
In brackets consisting of teams in grades 3 through 8, court monitors actually call fouls. In high school and adult brackets players call their own fouls and court monitors only call those that are intentional and flagrant. This year, in the interest of encouraging good sportsmanship by all, we're empowering court monitors to call technical fouls on players and fans for inappropriate language and behavior. It is of the utmost importance that monitors are fully committed to enforcing Hoopfest rules since it is the monitor who is responsible for promoting fairness on the court. To help monitors do this, all monitors are supervised and supported by a group of court marshals, and are given periodic rest breaks by relief monitors.
