Teams can qualify by the following options:

Place in the top 4 in your state tournament (minimum 10 teams). If less than 10 teams, the top 2 can earn an invite
Place in the top 4 in your division within the following BasketBull events: Chicago Qualifier, San Diego Qualifier, New England Qualifier, Spring Classic, and Best of the Best.
Apply for a spot in the tournament by submitting your team information to naismithtourney@basketbull.org

The idea is not to exclude teams, but to make this tournament a competitive, national event, where teams from all over the country come to visit the Basketball Hall of Fame, learn about the game, and enjoy their experience.
