    If you liars really do get together and play, do ya'll wanna play some 3 on 3 ball, while others rest, or play full court? I played in a fullcourt game a couple of months ago and I almost died.

    I say if we play 3 on 3, we could have two games going on at the same time, and others could rest. We could even do it in a double-elimination tournament style. It would just about have to be double-elimination to give everyone a chance to actuall play and to let the teams get used to one another. If anyone has a better idea let me know.

    The only fair way to pick teams would be to draw names.

    It seems like there is a lot of interest, and if people bring a friend or two, then we'll have plenty of people for a tourney.

    when need to brake it down in to age divisions though so it would be fair or maybe put say one person from each age catagory on a team so it would match up well.

    DREAMer,
    We should play that one by ear, i.e. wait and see how many people we get to play. Right now our primary goal should be to find a location to play at, a date, and a time. RSVPs need to be sent out (post on a separate link) so we can find out who can come.
    Teams should be set and placed in brackets, with winners advancing and losers playing a sportsman's game. No matter if we play 3 0n 3 or 5 on 5, we'll have an all out blast.
    Since I don't have the ability to set up a special topic on the BBS, we need the admins to help out getting the ball rolling (attention Clutch, Bkagy, etc.). Maybe those guys can send out e-mails to all registered members so we can get broader responses.
    I will help anyway I can, but I live in San Antonio, and am therefore limited in what I can do. Please keep in touch with me if you really want to help get this going. I want ideas and input so this can come true. It'd be a blast.

    P1st, shoot 2nd.

    We should just move this thread to the BBS Hangout. The admins don't want another forum.

    Picking a time and place will be hard enough, much less organizing a tourny w/brackets. Pick-up is fun enough for me. We just need a place w/plenty of baskets and cover from the sun, that won't be packed on a weedend.

    I think a good time to meet and play is the same time Jeff needs to hand out t-shirts for saveourrockets.com. That will save many people shipping, and Jeff a lot of hassle.

    Just an idea, for those of us that can't make it, you could set up a live webcam so we can watch the fun. [​IMG]

    Let's do it in the second weekend in June. I'll talk to my friend, and maybe he can reserve the Westside YMCA for a few hours. All interested can send me an email at vivitar@swbell.net. I will take responsibility for finding reserving the venue, but I need help gathering people to play. Spread the word.
