Hi All,

We have been getting lots of questions throughout the day about any prospects of cancelling the tournament. The answer is, unless an Act of God happens, we are hooping.

As mentioned earlier, Central Oregon is used to winter weather. Our gyms will be open and we will be there. You won't find a more committed group than EYBC, to makeing sure kids get a chance to play. We do wish everyone safe travels!

For the Love of Kids and the Game,

The Energy Hoops Classic Team

Good Evening Energy Hoops Classic Coaches, Teams and Families,

We want to welcome you to the 5th Annual Energy Hoops Classic! We are excited to welcome 98 teams to this year's event. The rules and regulations are attached to this message.

Here are a few important details:

1. We did out best to accomodate scheduling requests with as much consideration as possible for teams traveling in.

2. Apologies to the 5th Girls Division and 7th Grade Girls divisions. Due to cancellations from out of the area teams, these dvisions ended up with either all or mostly local teams. The bright side is, teams still get to play hoops and get better in a tournament format.

3. Please pay special attention to your team's divisonal format for scheduling. Because each division has a different number of teams, some formats are pool play to bracket play, while other divisions are bracket play only and a couple have a hybrid format. It all works out in the end! Every team is GUARANTEED 4 games based on the schedule that is set for each division.

4. We will be selling Tournament Sweatshirts for $45 at Redmond High all weekend. Players and fans can get their names and numbers printed on the back for $5.

5. If your team wins their division's Championship, please report to Redmond High and see Tournament Director, Sam Ure to recieve your teams Championship T-Shirts and Championship Nike Cinch bags directly after your game.

6. We need our officials more than we need your team. Disrespect towards officials will not be tolerated. We have a decline in officials in our Nation because of the poor treatment that some allow. Be something positive and different, treat officials with respect! They want your kids to learn and have a great experience. Coaches, if you have a quesiton regarding officials, you can contact officials Commissioner, Sam Meier at sdmeier8@hotmail.com.

7. Admissions are $10 per day OR you can buy a 2 day wristband for $15. Kids under the age of 6 are free. This tournament is a fundraiser for YOUTH! Please advise your parents, grandparents and spectators of this prior to the tournament.

8. Follow results and all schdules on the OAB App.

9. If your team places 1st, 2nd or 3rd in a division and is a school feeder team, you will automatically qualify for both the Salem State Tournement and the Central Oregon State Tournament.

10. PLEASE READ THE RULES AND REGULATIONS ATTACHED TO THIS COMMUNICATION. They can also be found on the OAB App under "documents."

If you have any questions, please contact Tournament Director Sam Ure at sam.ure@energyhoopclub.com or 907-232-7007. *Please don't reply to this email.

Thank you for your commitment and participation in the 2024 Energy Hoops Classic!

Coaches,

The field of teams is showing on the Oregon Amateur Basketball app. Please download that as it will be your best source of scheduling information and communication for this weekend.

We have received severals calls and texts about weather this weekend. If you are nervous about the weather, you must withdraw today. There will be no refunds or credits for any cancellations after Midnight Monday. If we make the decision to cancel the event based on weather conditions in Redmond, we will issue refunds. It is highly unlikely this will happen as snow is common in Central Oregon.

Schedule will be posted by 7 pm tomorrow.
