Good evening Coaches & Directors,
We experienced a glitch in the system, and it caused some teams to miss information about where and when their last game was scheduled.
βΌοΈ If your team did NOT play your final game today, that means we need to hear from you IMMEDIATELY. Please reach out so we can get this resolved tonight.
π² Contact me directly at (912) 223-3634 — do not wait if you missed your last game!
π Coaches, please check the Exposure app by 10:00 PM tonight for any final updates or changes. We will also personally reach out via phone to confirm your team’s game time for Sunday morning.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we work through this. Thank you again for being a part of the 2025 Hustle Tournament!

π£ FINAL SCHEDULE NOTICE π
Good evening Coaches & Program Directors,
The official Hustle Tournament schedule is now FINAL! β
No further requests or changes will be accepted at this time.
Please remember — all schedule-related requests must be submitted in advance at the time of registration, especially if you have coaching conflicts or time constraints. We’ve done our best to accommodate as many teams as possible, but with a high volume of teams and limited gym space, we can’t guarantee last-minute requests.
ππ½ Thank you all for your patience, flexibility, and understanding throughout the process!
π
Games will begin Friday night for some teams — be prepared to hit the ground running!
π¨ IMPORTANT:
• Do NOT rely on screenshots — always refer to the LIVE schedule in the Exposure Events app
• Turn on notifications in the app for real-time updates or emergency info
β Unfortunately, there will be no Meet & Greet Friday evening due to the need to run a full Friday slate of games.
π However, we’ll still have some special team gifts as a token of our appreciation!
We apologize for any inconvenience and are so excited to host you all in Columbus, MS for an unforgettable weekend of basketball. Let’s bring the energy and make it count! ππ₯

Good evening Coaches & Program Directors,
Thank you all for your patience and continued support!

Please make sure your team’s registration is complete and all rosters are finalized in Exposure to avoid any further delays.
We know everyone is eager to plan, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to deliver the best possible tournament environment for all players, coaches, and families.
As a reminder, the tournament kicks off with our Player Meet & Greet on Friday at 6:00 PM — music, food, good vibes, and a few Friday night games to get the action started!
Games will run all day Saturday and conclude with championships at MUW on Sunday afternoon.
Thank you for rolling with us — we’re building something special!

Good morning Coaches. We're less than a week away and all final payments are due by Monday. If you had not done so, please take care of your teams payment(s) and register your teams roster so that each player can be verified before the event ever starts. We are hoping to get schedules out to everyone by Wednesday afternoon, no later than Wednesday night. We ask that each of you do your part by making sure all requirements are taken care of (payment, full roster, etc...) There will only be two coaches weekend bands per team, so please write those coaches name in the required place and assure that them that without proof of ID, they won't get a band! Thanks for all cooperation and willingness to help make this a memorable one!
