Basketball Tournament: February 16 & March 15, 2008

    It is time to plan for the Fifth Annual Troy Culler Memorial basketball tournament sponsored by Show-Me Christian Youth Home in La Monte Missouri .  We hope to have sixteen teams play in this year’s “double-eight” tournament held on Saturday, February 16^th and Saturday, March 15^th.  Teams will have the opportunity to choose the Saturday that best fits their schedules and also have the option to play in both tournaments!

          1. Two eight-team, double-elimination tournament brackets scheduled for February 16th and March 15^th (both Saturdays).  The first of eleven games begins at 9:00 a.m. with the last game starting at 7:00 p.m. allows for day travel. 

2.  The 2006 1^st/2^nd/3^rd place teams will first be seeded then all other teams will be placed in the bracket according to postmark on the return mailed team roster  and $25 early entry fee payment.  Teams may request an early or late starting game time.

3. The balance of the entry fee ($75) is due by February 8^th (first bracket) and March 7th (second bracket) or risk loosing bracket placement.

            4.  Licensed officials will be utilized and 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, and Consolation trophies will be awarded at each tournament.  An opportunity for a Grand Champion game and trophy is dependent upon the 1^st place team from February 16^th traveling back for play on March 15^th.

                             5. Teams playing in both tournaments, or second teams from the same church, pay reduced entry fee of $80.

                    6. The Troy Culler All Tournament Team will again be chosen by peers and recipients will be awarded special shirts notating the honor.

                      7. Please call in advance for approval of church combination teams.

    I look forward to the opportunity to visit with the players, their families and fans.  If you have any questions, please contact me at 660-281-1492 or generosity@show-mehome.com. This activity has proven to be a great opportunity to regain friendships and to glorify the Lord with Christian sportsmanship.

Always for Christ,

Phil Marley, Tournament Director
