Middling, or thinly published. Check how many of the four terms facts this organizer actually put on the record before reading anything into the figure.

How this is calculated

How much of this is published

Fully published4 of 4

This organizer publishes all four terms facts, so the grade rests entirely on stated figures.

The four gradeable facts are the entry fee, the refund policy, the hotel requirement and the guaranteed game count. Anything the organizer leaves out is priced at the middle of its range rather than counted against them — most operators quote on application, and a grade that punished silence would be reporting our own missing data as their failing.

Attendee Rating

3.5/5

3 reviews · 67% would return

Coaches, managers, parents, players, officials and scouts who attended. Never the organizer.

Reviewers here averaged 2.9 out of 5. The published figure is 3.5 because a rating from a handful of reviews is pulled toward the directory average until there are enough of them to stand on their own — which is what stops one glowing review putting an event at the top of the table.

Coaches, managers, parents, players, officials and scouts who attended. Never the organizer.

Organizers may answer a review in public, and their responses are labelled and shown. They are excluded from every average, count and return rate here, so an operator cannot move their own rating.

What to expect

A compact two-day event at the low end of the price range. Three games minimum and a same-day bracket. Reviews flag schedule changes posted the night before, which the newer operator has not yet solved.

What a player gets seen doing

Not published

11 / 22 exposure points

The organizer publishes nothing about scouts, streaming, video or stats. That is normal for a house or in-season tournament and is not held against the event.

Not stated by the organizer

  • Scouts and college coaches attend
  • Showcase format
  • Advances to a championship
  • Games streamed
  • Game video for teams
  • Live stats and standings
  • Professional photography

Silence is scored as an unknown, not as a no. Nothing here is deducted for a feature the organizer simply did not mention.

  1. Good basketball for the money

    Ignatius Bramblewood · Parent · Riverside Rams U16 · attended 2024

    3/5

    Refs were better than the price suggested and there was no gate fee, which adds up across a family of five. Two days, three games, home for dinner. Manage your expectations on communication and it is fine.

  2. Not ready for the number of teams

    Xiomara Bettencourt · Team manager · San Diego Surf U12 Silver · attended 2025

    3/5

    Sixty-four teams and one person answering the phone. Our pool play times moved twice and we lost a family who had booked flights around the original schedule. The gyms are fine and the price is fine. The operations are not.

  3. Cheap, close, and always changing

    Marcus Delahaye-Pruitt · Coach · Long Beach Waves U14 Gold · attended 2025

    3/5

    625 for three games in early October with no hotel requirement is a good deal for a Southern California team. The schedule changed at 9pm the night before both years we have gone. The bracket app is good once the data in it is correct.
