According to the tournament rules, the six teams which finishe 2-0 in pool play will be put into the Gold Bracket, and the next two highest seeds that won their first games will also make the Gold Bracket. The Silver Tournament is determined by the four 1-1 tgeams which won their first game and the next four 1-1 teams with the higher seed who lost their first game. Bronze is for everyone else who doesn't fall under the Gold or Silver. . . actually we're paraphrasing the tournament rules, and they are very complex and probably only of interest to those taking part in the tournament. If anyone really wants to see them, e-mail us and we'll send them. Otherwise, just realize this is a high school "pool play" tournament for the first two days which will not wind up like any other pool play tournament that most have ever experienced.
Should be a competitive event, and a fun one to see some excellent basketball. If you're going have fun. We won't be there (other tournament commitments here in SoCal), but we'll have some game reports and scores.
See you there.
