Most tournaments need to run on time and they try to maximize gym time, so games are usually scheduled at 1:15 or 1:10 (assuming 16-minute stopped-time halves). Typical "local" rules to expect:
-- Fewer time outs per game (as few as three per team)
-- Halves (not quarters).
-- 5-minutes (or less) between halves.
-- No 1-1 fouls. Double bonus only on 10.
-- 1-1 on 10th foul; Double bonus on 13.
-- Overtime of 2 or 3 minutes.
-- No timeouts carry over to OT. (Teams get 1 timeout in OT.)
-- During free throw, players can enter lane on release (not rim).
-- Clock runs in final 5 minutes is one team is ahead by 20.
These are never an issue for me. Whatever the tournament director wants is fine. There usually is a rules sheet at the table -- and most programs have a Web site where tournament rules are posted.
