Tickets will be limited to two per player. Temperature checks will be performed upon entry. Face masks are required. Everyone must wear face coverings unless they are in an on-court, in-game situation.
Social-distancing protocols must be followed in seating. Game balls will be cleaned following each quarter. Standing-room-only attendance will be allowed at each game. Concessions will not be available.
Both teams must provide rosters to prove who will be in uniform on each night. No locker room use is permitted, and entrance will be at the front door only.
