Make it Rain 8 Girls Basketball Exposure Tournament Venues

Attn:: Here are some important details for all teams in Make it Rain 8, April 25-27!

**We over sold and needed to add an additional facility -- Pensacola State College is just a few minutes drive from UWF and is an excellent facility. We will have games at PSC on Saturday and Sunday. All teams will have games at UWF and I will carefully monitor the scheduling to ensure there are no issues causing teams to miss games or have to rush between gyms.

1. 4-8th grade checkin starts at 7:30am on Saturday - if your team does not have National Sports ID you must check in all players with report cards and birth certificates in hand - National Sports ID teams must JOIN the tournament - Click HERE

2. 9-12th grade must submit their roster on the NCAA BBCS -- for a complete set of instructions, click HERE

3. The documents section on the Exposure app has rules sheet, maps and other details about the tournament HERE

4. Please understand that we cannot let a team play in HS divisions unless they are NCAA Certified and their roster is submitted to the tournament in the NCAA BBCS - We are still missing a few teams on the BBCS so please finish this, get your players finished and roster built on the BBCS system and submitted ASAP --

5. We will not put your team on the schedule without payment and we will not refund teams after the schedule is released and I cannot put your team on the schedule

6. I will email a preview schedule to coaches on Sunday evening - this is your last opportunity to make a request no later than 9PM Central Time on Sunday night -- the schedule will be public on Monday morning and available on Exposure.

7. Our officials are hand picked and we pay them well. Our rules are clearly written and the officials do not change them. If there is a major problem, our lead offficial, Robert Jackson and I will work with the head coach/team admin IN PERSON to come up with a solution.

8. If a team is LATE, they will be charged 1 point for every minute up to 15 -- and the game will be a forfeit at that time. This is HOW we ensure our games are always on time. We will not start early, but please plan for traffic and other delays.

9. Gate fees are $55 for 3 day pass, $40 for 2 day pass or $25 daily - this applies to ages 13 and above, 12 and under are no charge - we will accept cash, credit cards, cashapp and Venmo at the gate.

10. We will have a hospitality room for coaches (specific arm bands), officials and tournament volunteers. Please understand that all food must be consumed IN the hospitality room, no food is allowed out in the gym area.

11. All bench areas are ONLY for players on the roster and verified coaches - for 9-12th grade, only USA Basketball Gold Coach licensed coaches that are on your team's roster are allowed on your bench. Parents and fans are not allowed in the bench area

12. We take pride in the sportsmanship and great conduct of our many loyal teams! UWF has complemented Make it Rain because of this! I am certain this year will be no different but please understand that IF there is unsportsmanlike or overly aggressive conduct, UWF police will eject the offender(s) from the tournament with no refund.

If you enjoy our tournament and want to come again this year, we are honored to bring you two more opportunities -- you can register here and we will provide you with a generous returning team discount! Click here for details on the Hoop Like A Girl Tournament Series!

Pls Respond to this survey: Hoop Like A Girl Tournament Series Survey

Hello! UWF has offered SR Elite additional dates to host Girls Basketball tournaments this year! Before I commit to this, I need to understand what our loyal teams and volunteer parents think about this expansion. Putting on a quality tournament like Make it Rain has been for the last 8 years takes a LOT of time investment, so your responses will help me make this decision!

Please try to respond to this survey by April 19th and thank you, in advance!! We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
