Capitol City Showcase presented by Chuck E. Cheese

Dear Friends,

Good morning! Our Championship HQ this year will once again be at The PAC Community Center, so if your team wins a division championship, please run over to The PAC (3575 Fairview Industrial Drive) and we will have championship tees, take some photos, and enjoy the moment together.

Good luck, and let's make it a great day!
The CCS Team

Weary after a long day of competitive hoops?

Cut down your commute and stay in Salem while you play! The CCS has partnered with The Grand Hotel in Salem and The Hotel Salem - arguably Salem's two best hotels - to offer CCS patrons lodging options at awesome rates. Clean, convenient, safe -- these properties are big partners with the tournament and would love to welcome you as a guest tonight.

Good morning, Friends!

Some quick reminders on this weekend's Capitol City Showcase presented by Chuck E Cheese:

* Admission is charged at this event, and we are a CASH ONLY operation. We've operated this way for years; but please be sure your families know this in advance;

* If you are the first game at a site, please know the gym doors do not open until 20 minutes before the first game time. Please take note of this; you won't have time to run an hour-long practice before the games start. Our staff is working long days, beyond the time most teams come and go obviously, and we have to keep the windows reasonable for their sake. If you show up earlier than 20 minutes before the first game time at any location, you will probably be waiting in a parking lot - and we don't want that for you!;

* Each team gets three (and three only) into the games for free --> 2 coaches and a person for either the official book or the clock. For each game, one person from each team does either the clock or the book, and one person from the other team does the other. We shifted to this model a year or two ago, and it has worked very well and been well-received by folks;

* Along those lines, BEFORE YOUR FIRST GAME, coaches sign in to get their tourney wristband and team packet... After that, YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR WRISTBAND TO GET IN FOR FREE. We get lots of folks saying "I'm a coach" - that doesn't fly. You have to sign in, and then at all times have a wristband on you. Simple; sign in and after the first game if no wristband, you pay;

* WAIVERS, WAIVERS, WAIVERS - you can not play your first game until you get your waiver info in... For those who have done that, thank you! For the rest, we need those ASAP please!!!;

* Players are not allowed to just bounce around from team to team in this tourney. So if you are part of a school organization, a kid can not play on the Sherwood 6th and Sherwood 7th team. One or the other. Same deal with clubs - players are allowed to play on one team and one team only in this event. There are limited exceptions where with advance notice AND advance approval a team in a bind in terms of numbers might be allowed to have a kid from another grade (same or lower grade) play on a second team. But this has to be both explained and requested AND explicitly approved by the CCS in advance. You can't send a text or email saying you are doing this or that; that's not getting the approval required. The CCS Tournament Director (BJ) has to explicitly understand and bless the playing on a second team by any kid. Also, if you have 12 5th graders on a team and 1 6th grader, you need to play in the 6th grade division. So you can't grab a 6th grader to play on a 5th grade team for several reasons. First, it's not allowed, and second, you then are playing in the wrong division. Go awry of any of this, and you might have to forfeit games - let's avoid that undesired outcome and keep everything simple and clean;

* You can follow along team results and schedules on either the CCS website (www.capitolcityshowcase.com) or the App (Sasquatch Sports); &

* Please peruse our Rules & Regs (attached) as time allows, so we are all on the same page rolling into this weekend!

Thank you again for playing, and we look forward to a great weekend of hoops at the CCS!

Sincerely,
The CCS Team

Coaches,

We had an issue with one of our facilities that we had to make some adjustments to the schedule. Saturday's schedule has a few minor changes in some divisions. Sunday has some major changes in a few divisions. Please see that you check the App or the website for updates made to the schedule.

In the Name of the Game,

BJ Dobrkovsky
Capitol City Showcase


PS - An email with a few important reminders about this weekend will also be coming out shortly.

Greetings Friends,

Our 2026 Capitol City Showcase schedule has been posted!

You can find the schedule on our app (Sasquatch Sports). Bottom team on the schedule is "home" and wears white.

Thank you, and we hope you and your team have a GREAT weekend ~

Good morning!

Just FYI, the 2025 Capitol City Showcase Youth Tourney schedule will be posted by 8:00pm tonight. We have worked very hard to do our best to accommodate a myriad of time requests and constraints. These requests presented considerable challenges, even with advanced computing programs to help on this front, and we have done our best to address every one of them.

The sheer number of requests on the scheduling side has grown tremendously over the years. And we get it, it's a nice thing to request when you want or need to play. At the same time, for the folks who just signed up to play whenever, without any sort of restrictions, thank you! To make everything work we definitely need teams like that, too.

We are confirming a couple of final details, but the schedule is 98% done and will be posted this evening before 8pm. We hope this helps with your planning.

THANK YOU again for playing in the CCS. We have an awesome field, well over 100 teams again, and we can not wait for a great weekend of basketball ahead!

The CCS Team

Hey Folks,

We are excited to have you in the 10th Annual Capitol City Showcase Youth Tourney presented by Chuck E Cheese! Exciting weekend of hoops ahead for us all on December 13 & 14.

Two important quick notes for you:

* Thank you to those of you who have turned in your waiver info! Big, big help. Please be aware to get full access to the ample CCS perks offered to our teams/coaches, we need your Roster/Waiver/Insurance/Consent for the CCS by no later than TODAY (12/8). This form is both attached and available on the website, and it should have been emailed to you, too, previously. If you can't get it in today, you likely will still get a chunk of the perks, but nothing guaranteed. Also, whether it's done today or not, we need it before you play your first game. The sooner, the better!

2) For your planning purposes, our tourney schedule will be availabe and posted by no later than Wednesday evening.

Thank you again for playing, and we are excited to see you and your team soon!

Hi Folks,

A number of our Capitol City Showcase teams are also interested in the 2025 Capitol City Classic presented by Toyota. As such, we wanted to be sure you know that the CCC's fields - both boys and girls - will be announced tonight on Instagram Live (@capitolcityclassic) at 7:30pm.

Just FYI, in case you are interested... and we look forward to seeing you next month at the CCS!

Sincerely,
The CCS Team
