All teams, their leaders and attendants who wish to participate in the festival have to behave in the spirit of fair play. Since teams are arriving from all parts of the world, it’s of basic importance to be tolerant and respectful towards other teams and play an honest game during the contest. Members of the team who do not observe the basic rules of human behavior after several requesting and commands and disturb the process of the festival events for several times (for example, act as racists, hurt other people’s dignity, do not recognize the Fair Play spirit, are violent, aggressive and bully) in the opinion of the organizing committee, can be disqualified from the Youth Basketball Festival on the basis of the resolution of the festival director. In that case the organizing committee of the Youth Basketball Festival will break up all kinds of contracts unilaterally and will refer to law.

4. REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT DEADLINE

The basic condition of taking part in the Youth Basketball Festival is that the teams contact the organizing committee and pay the registration fee via bank transfer, which will confirm their wish of participation. The registration fee is 30% of the accommodation price. The registration fee will be part of the accommodation expenses. Obviously, the team that qualifies among the firsts and pays the registration fee will have some advantages concerning accommodation and will also have a better choice of entertaining facilities and programs of other kinds. Another reason for early contacting the chief organizers of the festival is that in groups of certain ages the number of participant teams is limited. Thus, it can happen that months before the deadline of the payment of the registration fee in groups of certain ages the appointed number of teams will reach the top, and the team will not be able to join the festival in the appropriate age group. Registration deadline is 15 May, 2023.
