3.2.1 Characteristics of long tournament play
“Long Tournaments” are typically played by representative teams, with players chosen from a range of other teams (e.g. national teams).
“Tournament Play” is unique in many aspects and is characterized by:
- The team being likely to have had limited preparation together and may consist of players that are all “starters” on their other teams;
- Being played in a short time, no more than 2 weeks;
- The team having relatively little rest between games (perhaps 24-48 hours) and in junior tournaments may play more than one game on one day;
- Teams being grouped into “pools” and results in the initial 2-3 games may determine where the team are placed at the tournament. Regularly, a team may lose only one game (quarter final) and not gain a place in the Top 4;
- Variable game times, with games in the morning, afternoons and at night;
- Playing each opponent only once.
“Tournament Play” will often have many distractions for athletes, which are not present throughout a league, such as:
- Living away from home;
- The tournament may be a part of a “multi- sport” event with different sports finishing at different times (typically, basketball continues throughout the event);
- Changes to diet, sleeping routines
(with different game times) and possible social interaction problems caused by “living together”.
In preparing a team, the main things that a coach must consider are:
- Selecting the team;
- Selecting assistant coaches and “support staff”
- The Team’s “Playbook” – preparing for what they will do on court;
- Organising the “off-court” – putting the tournament together;
- Understanding the Tournament Rules.
