SCHEDULE
Our scheduling follows the FIBA 3x3 tournament scheduling format where teams are divided into pools within their division. Teams will play within their pool and then all the teams will be ranked and then participate in a lose and you're out "March Madness" style bracket. The only exception for the "lose and you're out" rule is in the semi-finals. The losers of the semis will play for the bronze.
Each team is guaranteed 4 games.
The majority of games will be scheduled on Saturday, July 12th, 2025. Local teams will be asked if they can play one game Friday night July 11, 2025. A form will be sent out to all teams closer to the date to ask for teams to play Friday night.
