The 4th Annual AthElite Memorial Day Challenge Bucket City

Coaches, players, and fans--

We are excited for a great weekend at the AthElite Memorial Day Challenge. We have teams from 7 states and over 100 games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday all under one roof. Here are a few tournament reminders:

Please be sure to double and triple check game times/court numbers/and opponents before the weekend. The schedule is FINAL but some changes have been made since the schedule released on Wednesday. We encourage sharing the Exposure Events app to follow along with scores and bracket placement rather than screenshots.

Be sure to check-in at team check-in before your first game. The table will be set up next to the ticket windows. Look for the "AthElite" tablecloths. We encourage getting to team check-in an hour early in case of delays. Players do not need to be present at team check-in, only coaches.

Each team will receive TWO wristbands for coaches. No one will be admitted without a wristband (players and referees must be in uniform to enter.) We provide scorekeepers/scoreboard operators so parents can enjoy. You are welcome to sit someone at the table if you have someone who usually does it.

At the end of each pool play game, a player of the game will be named. Be sure to take the player selected to the front banner for a photo to be posted on Facebook/Instagram @AthEliteAmerica.

Security and an athletic trainer will be on site all weekend.

Teams can still sign up for media packages (photos/videos) through RSwinEdits. 618-751-4605 (text) or @RSwinEdits on Instgram.

Any futher tournament questions can be pointed to office@athelitesportsmanagement.com

We are looking forward to a great weekend!
