Good Evening Everyone,


We are excited to have you a part of this year’s Fall Slam Fest Hosted by Syracuse Sports Center - Syracuse Select Basketball! This is the fourth tournament of our fall tournament series and we are looking forward to some great competition overall! With that being said below we have provided you with the information needed to relay to your players/parents. Schedule will only be changed if we made a procedural error. The Management of Syracuse Select Basketball thanks you in advance for following Tournament Procedures

Also Coaches, EACH TEAM will be required to provide ONE scorekeeper! That person will be assigned by the coach at check-in and not be charged admission, But that person will need to keep score for all games with that associated team. There is to be NO harrassment of scorekeepers! There will be one from each team so they will be able to double check each other to ensure it is a fair process, one does the scoresheet, the other does scoreclock.
