There will be 5 preliminary rounds, after which the teams from each bracket will be sorted into playoff brackets based on prelim record and 5 more rounds will be conducted. The top two teams from the highest bracket will then play a finals round. Ties in the standings will be resolved by average team points per game.Check in will be from 8:15 to 8:45 AM, with games beginning ideally at 9 AM. The tournament is expected to end around 6 PM. The top teams will receive trophies, and the top 8 prelim scorers will receive book awards.

Food
Lunch will be around 12:00 PM, for one hour. There are multiple places to eat near the school, but the walk is around 20 minutes one way. Pizza, water, and snacks will be sold at the school, with a price of $5 for two slices, a water, and a bag of chips. After lunch, around 1:00 PM, book awards will be presented and teams will be re-bracketed.

Unfortunately, ABIT has been cancelled this year due to lack of registration. We apologize for the inconvenience.
