CGBA has hoops tournament planned for Jan. 11-12

Games are slated to start at 9 a.m. on Saturday in pool play matchups at The Dalles Middle School, where each team will play two pool play games for each division to determine seeding.

Seeding is based on overall record, head-to-head games, point differential and points scored, in that order.  

Double elimination bracket play kicks off on Sunday at 8 a.m. until the championship games, with games at TDMS and The Dalles High School.

First-place teams are awarded a trophy or T-shirts in each age division on Sunday.  

“Spectators are encouraged to come and support these young people,” said CGBA president and coach Greg Cummings. “They’ve been working so hard the last couple of months, and I want to see their hard work pay off.”

Brackets and rules will be emailed out the Wednesday before the tournament, and all games are officiated by OSAA-sanctioned officials.

All games will be scheduled on the Tourney Machine application through the website, http://www.tourneymachine.com.

Fans can download the application to their smartphone to stay up to date on scores, pool play standings and bracket play games.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students over five years old. Children 4 and younger are free.

Another multi-team basketball tournament is set for Feb. 22-23 at the same locations, so teams can enter both tournaments for $350 or pay $195 for one entry.
