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.
* NCAA rules prohibit 7th and 8th grade boys from competing on a D-1 campus. As a result, those divisions will play at other local venues.
