Emails that ask for schedule changes will be deleted. This includes emails that start with "I know you said to not ask for schedule changes but" There is no way with this many teams/divisions we will keep everyone happy. If you do not have the perfect schedule, we apologize.
Please also note we have 65 different divisions in the tournament--do not email me saying your team is not in the tournament if they are. Use CTRL F to find your team if needed.
If you asked in advance for a request that we did not honor, email us but at this point no changes will be guaranteed. I do not like being so strict but with this tournament, we do not have much of a choice.
You can also find the schedule on our Minnesota Heat App which is available in the app store.
Games will be at Forest Lake HS, Forest Lake MS, Hopkins HS, Maple Grove Junior High, Chanhassen HS, Southwest Christian HS and Chaska HS. Please double check your team's location for all games.
The earliest entry for each day is 730 AM. Do not try to enter facilities prior to then.
There will NOT be concessions at Chaska or Hopkins. Please plan accordingly. All other sites will have concessions.
Admissions will be $12 for adults and $6 for students/seniors for the daily pass and $22 and $10 for the weekend pass. Cash only.
A coach for each team should check the team in. Each team will get 3 free wristbands. 2 for coaches and 1 for someone to do the clock/book. Each team will supply someone for the clock or book each game.
We will have t-shirt awards for 1st and 2nd place finishers in all divisions.
Games will be broadcasted on Baller TV. If you have questions on Baller TV, please email them, not me.
