Many teams do not know, however, there exists another path to compete at STATE called an “At Large” qualification.
Greetings!
As you may know, State Basketball Championship operates the largest Qualifier-based tournaments in the country with many events in the 200-600+ team range. To receive an invite to STATE, teams must typically finish 1st or 2nd in an officially recognized State Qualifier tournament or league. Many teams do not know, however, there exists another path to compete at STATE called an “At Large” qualification.
Is your team from a rural area, making it difficult to attend one of our official State Qualifiers? Has your team come up just short of qualifying at a few Qualifiers? If so, consider applying to receive an At Large bid to STATE. Simply click on this At Large Application link and answer a few questions to make your case to be considered for an invite to STATE. Our Executive Committee meets once a week to consider all applications.

2024-25 State Qualifiers:
Our State Tournament Committee is thrilled to announce an exciting list of
Qualifiers for this season.
Teams earn their bid to State by placing 1st or 2nd at an official QUALIFIER TOURNAMENT or LEAGUE.
We've eliminated the handling of cash and credit cards to reduce long lines at our tournament facilities. As a result, tickets (also called "Add-Ons") must be purchased prior to the tournament through our event management partner, EventConnect.
Last season, we heard from a number of teams that missed out staying at their favorite hotel or resort. The popular choices sell out early, so this season, teams should consider booking their rooms IMMEDIATELY! ….. If you book a room and your team does not qualify for State, then Event Connect will refund the $6.75 nightly room deposit paid on its website.
We have secured some great Central Oregon properties and trust you’ll enjoy your adventure to the top destination in Oregon!
