If this is AAU/Travel ball, I would not care to hear about it.

Peace

I'm not asking if you care about it. I asked if anyone knew of it, or possibly has worked in it. I know there are a few IL\WI refs on here. I would also assume it's similar to an AAU type thing. All I know is they put us up in a hotel, feed us lunch, and I'll make $350 to $400 for the weekend. Unfortunately, I could use the extra cheese.

Never heard of it and would not care if I did hear about it. There are a lot of AAU Tournaments around here and this one does not stick out. Chances are they will already have the officials who want to work it and you are not likely to get in unless you know the person that assigns the tournament or someone is just passing the word around.

Peace

I'm already in. Myself and a few others from Indiana are going. I was just curious if anyone had worked it before.

This tournament is held at a complex in Libertyville. It is both boys and girls with various ages of which most are AAU teams, with the exception of some travel park distrcit teams. There are usually at least 6 courts going at one time. Just a word of caution, most of these coaches are dads who don't have a clue on what the rules are. Also make sure you make yourself familiar with the tournament rules as they could come into play during the course of a game.
