AAU and YBOA Tournaments.

As one who has officiated in over 45 AAU, YBOA, USSSA, AYBTour, and PAL Boys' and Girls' National Championship Tournaments and at least twice as many regional qualifying tournaments for some of these and other organizations, I am going to ask that we do not refer to travel team tournaments as AAU tournaments but refer to them as travel team basketball. The reason being is that AAU has issued press releases that it will take legal action against those label travel team basketball tournaments as AAU when it could be well be a tournament sponsored by YBOA, AYBTour, NAYBTour, or any number of other organizations that sponsor such tournaments.

Thanks,

MTD, Sr.
