It would be interesting to see how many alumni teams would be available if they did an alumni only tournament. TBT was originally set up to be kind of a free for all. The alumni thing was kind of a fun thing that just evolved.
It will be on Facebook (The Basketball Tournament) at noon EST. Or if you go on YouTube its on the youtube channel (The basketball Tournament). My guess is it will be a live streamed event so the actual stream won't show on either site until maybe like 5-10 mins before it starts.
I don't believe so
Just click this a few minutes before it's scheduled to start. Should work
Thank you sir

So for #1 seed alignments.. shouldn't the Army get #8 YGC (and not #5 Heartfire)... and then #4 Gutter Cats (and not #2 TMT)?
There must be lots of money to fund all these teams in the tournament - I would think that after a while those discretionary funds especially for perennially losing teams would decrease the # of teams eventually. With single elimination and bigger field of teams, it’s getting tougher and tougher to win that final $1M prize to make up for the expenses and time spent by so many individual teams. 6 games to win - wow!
A lot of these guys would be playing basketball somewhere anyway - this is an opportunity to market themselves to get an opportunity elsewhere. Showcase their talents against high-end competition. It's worth the investment.
Yeah the more I think about it - I guess the guys probably have deals in place based on appearances etc to get paid regardless of the final outcome...though there must be a bunch of players playing for free as well.
