| Tournaments The tournaments can be 1 - 3 days in duration. Most often, tournaments are held as one-day competition. A Team normally plays in events where it will play each team in their 4 teams pool with the winning teams ( 1st and 2nd places) advancing to the Gold bracket and the other teams ( 3rd and 4th places) advancing to a Silver or Bronze bracket. Most of the tournaments use a best 2 out of 3 games format. Seating is sparse in most of the gyms so it is recommended that parents bring their own chairs. In addition, it is recommended that parents pack a cooler for their respective athletes. Please note: Coolers and outside food cannot be brought into the tournaments. This is a rule in the Ohio Valley Region. If you bring coolers and outside food, it must be left in the car. Coaches will always provide specific directions to the tournament facilities and the scheduled arrival time.
