Does anyone know why this Tournament is called 'Rebel Games'?

I'm just curious... :)

My best guess is that it has something to do with the Civil War, from when the southern states seceded and where nicknamed "rebels". You see this nickname used throughtout the southern region to this day.

It just seems to be one of those regional nicknames that gets used over-and-over again for sports teams, laundromats, carry outs and car washes!

Having had a great burger twice this week at the "Little Rebel" diner, I did not even think about that....

I was thinking it might be sponsored by the University of Mississippi, whose mascot is the "Rebels".
