Feb 26th Update: Now that the 2023-24 season has come to a close, we would like to thank our coordinators, coaches, players, parents, and referees for making this league possible. As a reminder, we are offering two great basketball experiences this spring for those that would like to continue to play and/or develop their skills (more information on these opportunities is on the front page of our web site). We hope to see you this spring and if not, have a great off-season and we look forward to seeing everyone again for our 2024-25 season.

    Tournament Schedule Info

    Please note that teams were assigned to brackets and seeded based on regular season results as of 12pm on February 5th for the 7th-12th grade tournament and 12pm on February 12th for the 3rd-6th grade tournament.  While record is the primary driver of seeding, other factors are taken into consideration including forfeit wins/losses, head-to-head, strength of schedule, as well as trying to avoid first round matchups between teams from the same organization (sometimes this is unavoidable.  Due to larger rec brackets this year, lower seeds will play opening round games on Friday.  We tried to reduce travel as much as possible, but this is a city wide tournament and we had very few sites available that were centrally located. Please note that teams that did not have jersey numbers on their roster as of February 5th per previous communication to your coordinators and the note on the front page of the web site were not included and neither were teams that forfeited two or more games for reasons other than illness or injury.  Best of luck to all teams in the tournament next week!

    You can access the schedule using the buttons below (all games for your bracket are shown by looking at the Physical Bracket or Schedule by Bracket) or there is a Tournament option on the Schedule menu with the same options to all of the tournament information.  Please note that all brackets, seeds, and schedules are final.
