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

Positive3.8/5(provisional)

Reliably good. Reviewers would return, with one or two caveats worth reading. Based on 2 reviews so far — under 3 it stays provisional and will move as more teams file.

Attendee Rating

3.8/5

2 reviews · provisional · 100% would return

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

Reviewers here averaged 3.4 out of 5. The published figure is 3.8 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

The lowest cost per game anywhere in the index and five games in a proper arena rather than a school gym. Entry is quoted in US dollars for visiting teams. The operator is unverified and the review sample is thin, so treat the score as provisional; the schedule runs late into the evening on the Saturday.

What a player gets seen doing

Little published

12.5 / 22 exposure points

One or two minor exposure features are published, and nothing that puts a player in front of an evaluator.

  • Games streamed

    Games are streamed, so family and coaches who cannot travel can watch and rewatch.

Not stated by the organizer

  • Scouts and college coaches attend
  • Showcase format
  • Advances to a championship
  • 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.

Attendee Rating 3.8 / 5

  1. Cheapest five games you will find

    Aurelio Bituin · Coach · Quezon City Kings U16 · attended 2026

    4/5

    Seven hundred and eighty dollars for five games in a real arena with statisticians and a live stream. Nothing else comes close on price. Organisation is loose: our Saturday game tipped off at 9.40pm after the schedule slipped through the day.

  2. Great value, bring patience

    Priscilla Tanaka-Reyes · Parent · Makati Storm U14 · attended 2026

    3/5

    The basketball was good and the stream meant grandparents watched from Cebu. The schedule moved twice on the day and there was no announcement, just a whiteboard. For the money I accept it, but you cannot plan meals around it.
