its 20 minutes from chillicothe, probably somewhere around 45minutes or so. I can make it to portsmouth in under an hour if that helps, any other questions get back with me if u need more.

thanks for the info

May be changing my tournament from DOUBLE ELIMINATION to POOL PLAY so everyone would get GUARANTEE of 3 GAMES for their money and I can also CONTROL GAME TIMES for TEAMS wanting to PLAY but coming from a longer DISTANCE and we have MOTELS nearby in Hillsboro, Washington Court House, and Chillicothe which are all only 15-20 minutes from Greenfield McClain high school, site of the tournament. I think will be changing TOURNEY PLAY STYLE, hope no one has a problem with it, will guarantee teams at least another game for their money! Top 2 teams in each POOL(2 POOLS in each division-gender) will play for 1st-2nd place and 2 losers will be guaranteed 3rd! Goes like this each has a "A" POOL and a "B" POOL, "A" 1st will play "B" 2nd and "A" 2nd will play "B" 1st. Both winners will play for 1st and 2nd place and the losers of those games will be both be given 3rd place instead of playing another game to decide 3rd(due to time frame allowed to play all the games in every division-gender).

If anyone has an issue with it, which they shouldnt due to more games for your money and have flexibility with game times, but someone always does and I am open for discussion and listen to any ideas!

P.S. Special note, everyone will not want to play early games and there is no guarantee to that, except for teams traveling over an hour or so away or teams with SPECIAL-SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES (EXAMPLES: High school team playing night before, late night, in high school tourney after or Team traveling over an hour to play). I will discuss SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES with COACH of that TEAM!

Hope this style of Tourney play will interest some more teams that want to play but have to travel a distance and worried about game times!

P.S.S Will not be able to make EVERYONE HAPPY(parents and coaches) but will DO MY BEST to make it an FUN and ENJOYABLE TOURNEY for ALL WHO PARTICIPATE and ATTEND! To SPREAD THE WORD for FUTURE TOURNAMENTS THAT I WILL PUT ON!

Thanks again n hope to see you all there,

A lot of teams down your way near the river and a few same dates as mine! Have had great reviews from past teams, come our way and play some different teams to see if your team is as good as you think they are. I coach 4,5,6 boys and like traveling an hour or so to play different talent instead of playing same old teams, over n over, no competition in that and playing pool play so can work with you on times if your over an hour away and guaranteed 3 games and giving away 1st-2nd place sponsor and individuals(if 7-8 teams in each division n gender) along with 3rd place sponsor if that amount of teams. Hope to hear from some different teams n different talent

[youthsportsfan]

is this for school teams only or are you accepting travel teams ?

[rebels8530]

TRYING TO KEEP IT TO SCHOOL TEAMS, BUT THERE IS TRAVELING SAME SCHOOL TEAMS TOO! WE HAVE ONLY HAD A COUPLE TIMES OF TEAMS GETTING THAT HAD A MIX OF SCHOOLS, BUT WITH THE COMPETITION WE HAVE GOTTEN OVER LAST FEW YRS, I THINK THERE HAS ONLY BEEN 1 TEAM OUT OF 6 DIVISIONS, OVER LAS T 6YRS THAT HAS WON N THEY DIDNT WALK THRU THE TOURNAMENT, THEY HAD TO WORK TO WIN IT! I WOULD HOPE AN AAU OR MULTIPLE MIXED SCHOOL TEAM WOULDNT HAVE ANY FUN COMING TO PLAY IN A SCHOOL TEAM TOURNEY AND WOULD GO SOMEWHERE WHERE THOSE TYPE OF TEAMS WOULD BE PLAYING, BUT YOU ALWAYS HAVE A COACH OR PARENT THAT SNEAKS A TEAM IN BY FUDGING OR LIEING ON THEIR ROSTER FORM N I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THAT!

HOPE THAT ANSWERED UR QUESTION EVE THOUGH IT WAS LENGTHY,

TRAVIS O'CONNOR

P.S. ANYMORE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS GET BACK WITH ME OR EMAIL ME WOULD BE BETTER rebels_bball@yahoo.com or 740-701-7677

[rebels8530]

DOWN TO ONLY 1 OR 2 SPOTS AVAILABLE FOR ALL DIVISIONS N DEADLINE TO ENTER IS MARCH 7TH AT NOON. HAVING DEADLINE THIS EARLY IS TO GET GAME TIMES BACK ASAP N IF ANY CONFLICTS WITH UR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TEAM BOYS OR GIRLS PLAYING IN STATE TOURNAMENT, THIS WAY WE CAN ADJUST THEM SO UR TEAM CAN STILL PLAY N MAKE IT TO HIGH SCHOOL GAME THIS IS BENEFIT OF PLAYING POOL PLAY TOURNAMENT FORMAT.

THANKS,

TRAVIS
