2006 3-on-3 Basketball Tournement

Last Saturday our 3-on-3 tournament went really well. I was very nervous about it the night and morning before. There were lots of details to work out to make it fair and enjoyable for all involved.

Eleven teams from around our area participated. There were teams from EBC and NCC, teams from Creswell and Santa Clara and then several teams from SCCC. Making double elimination brackets for 11 teams was quite the undertaking. If you have 8 teams or 16 teams it is quite easy, but any other number it gets complicated. Going online I borrowed some ideas from a billiards tournament bracket.

Only one of the two referees showed up. Dylan did a great job ref’ing and made some phone calls to get another ref for an hour or so. Then Tom Moyers and Bill Selby filled in for some games and did a great job.

There were some good teams: Ideal Steelers, Bull Dogs, South Paws, Hawks, and our own Doom Squad were all competitors. Jimmy, David, and Lance (Doom Squad) fought back in the losers bracket to get second place.

Trophies and ribbons were given to the top three teams: Bull Dogs, Doom Squad, and Hawks.

We plan on doing more of these events, if you or someone you know would like to play let me know.
