Thornton High School of Denver and the Global Shot Doctor are proud to announce the rekindling of their GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM TOURNAMENT. We will be inviting teams from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota, California, New Mexico, and Idaho.

The tournament will be modeled after the high successful Rocky Mountain Hoops Classic in Denver for boys. We would like to thank Brian DeHerrera of Dakota Ridge High School for his help and input into this year's tournament. The tournament will consist of two 16 team tournament brackets and 8 (4 team pools) pool brackets. Each 16-team bracket will have a Championship side, a Consolation I side and a Consolation 2 side. This will guarantee each team at least 3 games per bracket. Teams will lay in 1 (16 team) bracket and 1 (4 team) pool play bracket to guarantee the 6 games. After each bracket is completed, the winners of each bracket in all sides will have additional games for the Championships of each category. The Small School Varsity / Large School J.V. division will only be playing pool play format. We will be using 4 high school gyms with large score boards (except at Thornton High School which has 4 gyms side by side).

We hope to have quality officials from the Rocky Mountain Officials Clinic. Every team will play at least 2-3 games per day and possibly 4 on the final day. At last years Boys Classic some teams got as many as 12 or 13 games. Most teams will average 8 or 9 games. Games will start at 10:00 A.M. and end at 10:00 P.M. for the first 3 days. This will allow practice time or scrimmage time in the early morning. The tournament will have T-shirts for the champions and other gifts for the Consolation champions. Coaches will receive a nice collared coaching shirt!

Other activities available in the Denver Metro area include a trip to Elitch Gardens Amusement Park, Water World (a nearby water amusement park), Fat City (bowling, putt-putt, golf, skating, and arcades), Heritage Square Amusement Park. If the Rockies have a home game, there is a possibility of getting tickets in advance for a baseball game at Coors Field.

Past team camps have been tremendous. We wish to extend our appreciation to all those Teams who participated in our past summer camps. Highly competitive games are expected. Past team camps have won many leagues and state championships in their post-seasons. We hope to have all of you consider this girls weekend tournament.

The tournament dates will be Wednesday, June 5th through Saturday, June 8th. The purpose of our tournament is to give your teams the opportunity to play more diversified teams in a tournament type atmosphere. We will be promoting this tournament to college coaches, so they can come and watch some of the best players from a nine-state area. Your teams will also be able to make a nice vacation out of the trip, which should build team unity and camaraderie.

We have arranged very reasonable rates to stay at nearby hotels for those teams that are traveling. The approximate hotel cost for each player will be between $12 and $15 per night for each night of lodging. The coach will have to share rooms with their players for the same price. Enclosed you will find information on the hotels. It is best to reserve rooms early and be sure to mention the tournament in order to get those rates listed. They will only hold rooms until certain dates.

Due to the popularity of basketball tournaments, those teams that register early will have the best opportunity to confirm a spot. If the tournament fills up early, other teams will be placed on a waiting list based on the post-mark date of the registration form. Last year the boy's tournament was full two weeks before the registration deadline. If your registration comes after the tournament is full, you will be notified immediately. Your team must have a $300.00 deposit by May 1st in order to reserve a spot. If there is room after the registration deadline, the cost will be $500.00 per team. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

We also offer a Small School Varsity/Large School J.V. Division. Be sure to specify what division you sign up for. Take advantage of paying a lesser price per team by having two teams.

We plan on keeping an updated list of teams entered on the web: http://www.global-shot-dr.com.
