Red Bull Reign 3×3 Tournament Qualifiers Announced

Red Bull is looking for the best 3×3 basketball teams in the country for the Red Bull Reign 3×3 tournament, which begins with seven qualifiers throughout the United States, starting next month. More details, from our friends at Red Bull:

Red Bull is inviting America’s top ballers to put their skills to the test in the second annual Red Bull Reign 3×3 tournament. With several regional contests taking place throughout the United States this summer, the unique 3×3 basketball tournament will pit hoop hopefuls against one-another in a high-endurance, offensive-driven battle that ends with the finals in Chicago.

 

The seven qualifiers will be held in Houston (June 20), Oklahoma City (June 20), Memphis (July 11), Indianapolis (July 25), Cleveland (August 8), Detroit (August 8) and Chicago (August 22). The winning team from each location will be invited to battle in the Red Bull Reign Finals at Chicago’s Seward Park on August 22, 2015.

 

The rules of the high endurance, offense-driven tournament are simple: the teams that score the most overall points in each round will advance and continue to compete. Red Bull athlete and Chicago’s very own, Anthony Davis, will host the Red Bull Reign Finals and present the Championship trophy at the end of the day.

 

The Red Bull Reign Finals champions will earn the chance to compete in the FIBA 3×3 World Tour Final qualifier this September. The FIBA 3×3 World Tour Final qualifier champion will advance to the FIBA 3×3 World Tour Final in Abu Dhabi in mid-October.

 

The qualifying tournaments and Finals competition are open to the public and free of admission. Ballers 18 and older can submit an application for their team of four players to compete. The Red Bull Reign committee will review applications and select participants, notifying teams two weeks in advance of each tournament.
