Good luck to all of the teams competing today! Championship Rings await the winners of the championship brackets.

As teams in your division wrap up pool play today (some tomorrow) check the Vertical Hoops app for your Sunday scheduled game. We do have some later games so please remember to check. Good Luck!

Tag Vertical Hoops all day long on instagram so we can share your stories this weekend! So many great games already today and we aren't even half way thru.

The venue will open at 5:30pm. Players should wear uniforms to gain free entry. Spectators can purchase their weekend wristbands for entry. Coach checkin will be available. We do have gifts for our head coaches and we have staff who can help show you to your courts for practice if needed. Please have players or coaches bring basketballs.

Friday Night we have practices running on all courts except courts 1 & 2, where all players are welcome to participate in basketball training with Coach Drew Roberts, one of the top trainers in Connecticut. Drew trains top level college and professional basketball players and we are excited to have him with us tonight. In addition there will be VH16 All-Star games going on courts 7 & 8 througout the night so please feel free to watch some great basketball.

Please remember that point differential is used to break ties ( Head to Head if there is a tie between two teams) and for bracket placement for teams coming out of pool play. IMPORTANT NOTE : 20 points is the max point differential you will receive for any single win so please do not run up the score on teams in an attempt to win by larger amount.

For those of you playing in a division that has "Seeds" listed on the brackets please see below for an explanation on how the teams are placed.

EXAMPLE FOR SEEDED BRACKETS ONLY
REMEMBER max point differential is 20 so beating a team by more than that has no benefit.

Pool A
Team 1, 2-0, +40 point differential
Team 2, 1-1, +4 point differential
Team 3, 0-2, -30 point differential

Pool B
Team 4, +22 point differential
Team 5, +8 point differential
Team 6, -15 point differential

In this scenario..

1st of #1 Seeds = Team 1
2nd of #1 Seeds = Team 4
1st of #2 Seeds = Team 5
2nd of #2 Seeds = Team 2
1st of #3 Seeds = Team 6
2nd of #3 Seeds - Team 3

Hi Everyone,
