Meet in the Middle Update #1

Welcome:

This is our first Meet in the Middle Tournament update.  As of 12/20/2010, these are the confirmed teams for the tournament:

XO Select (Fresno)

PAC Men (Fresno)

Full Effect (Fresno)

Dynasty (Fresno)

Icy Hot (Fresno)

Long Beach All Stars

We’re waiting for confirmation from team in from Delano, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Visalia, and Lemoore.  It’s shaping up to be a competitive tournament. 

We’ve posted the tournament rules and team registration form on the blog.  All you need to do is highlight and copy the registration form and paste it to Microsoft Word or another word processing program.  You’ll need to send or turn in the registration form, payment, and official team roster/liability waiver.  Please contact X’s & O’s Basketball for the liability waiver and we can email it to you. 

With so many events scheduled for the Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, it’s important to plan wisely.  We’ll be posting hotel and accommodation information in the coming days.  If you want to play against good competition for an exceptionally reasonable price, play in the best collegiate student facility on the West Coast, and reduce your travel time, we invite you to play in the Meet in the Middle Winter Classic. 

Not to be overlooked…X’s & O’s Basketball has been asked to make recommendations to power brokers in the Philippine Basketball League (PBL) and Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) regarding potential Filipino-American players.  If you think you have the game and skill that will translate in the Philippines, we’ll be watching and reporting about it. 

We look forward to seeing you all in January…check back frequently for more updates.
