What is OPEN4ALL?
Our half day tournament was open to anyone from anywhere, truly "open4all" a celebration of the diversity of Great Britain and the love of Basketball.
#togetherwearebasketball
Each team played one another once, equating to 15 matches played in a league format. The encounters were 10 minutes and required players to be ready to execute from the second our referees tipped off.
After three hours of play, only four teams would advance to the Semi Finals, played across two 10 minute halves.
Reaching the Finals our last two teams then played a further 20 minute game, in a high stakes winner takes all 'battle to the end'
