Tournament Time?

[rwest]

I have three tournaments. One before Christmas and two after. I also had two tournaments before Thanksgiving. Here in GA we partner with another association during these tournaments. If the tournament is at a school that has been assigned to us by GHSA then we get two slots and our partner association gets one. They reciprocate with their tournaments.

Here a tournament counts as 2 contests no matter the number of guaranteed games towards the limit of 20 allowable regular season games (not including the playoffs).There are several tournaments out here which start the Monday/Tuesday after Christmas.

One of the most fun times of year in my opinion.

While not the Chicago area, there are quite a few taking place in around here. I am right there with you as far as being a great time of year. I always look forward to seeing teams and officials I only see at this time of year. I always enjoy the chance to sit with other officials and watch the game before or after mine.

One of the best tournaments in the country. BTW, I was on the game with the leak last year. Game was delayed over an hour and caused some challenges to deal with water on the court. And we had an upset. There is usually not a bad game in that tournament. All teams are competitive and you have interesting games.

It is the mother of all tournaments, always star studded.

Proviso West All-Time All-Tournament Team (2000)

And this is an old list!

A few years back Jon Scheyer of Duke fame scored 21 points in something like 90 seconds.

It's a toss up for doing a state final or a Proviso tourney game for me
