Boys Tournament - Sportsmanship & Participation

The Sportsmanship and Participation Trophy is a perpetual award. The winner of the award is allowed to keep the trophy until the next year’s tournament. They must return the trophy at the end of the year and they will receive a smaller permanent trophy at that time.

The award will be awarded to the SCHOOL which shows the best sportsmanship, participation and general good behavior.

Above the competition, it is the desire of the Jaycees that courtesy, friendship, good behavior and sportsmanship is fostered and maintained throughout the tournament. A signed statement may be submitted to the tournament chairman or a member of the tournament committee by a basketball coach, cheer team coach, princess advisor or school administrator who has observed any unfavorable conduct by any basketball team, cheer team or princess. The statement must contain the date, time and place of the offense. Written complaints will be reviewed by the tournament committee and upon acceptance of the complaint a school will not be considered for the award.
