This is 18th Annunal 2009 Tin Can Rally tournament, which will be on February 27th and 28th at The Hoop in Salem, Oregon. Team Fees are $300.00

Tournament Information

Welcome to ODOT's Basketball tournament of the year for 2009. Registration is now open. We are planning on having a 16-team bracket, with a possibility of splitting the brackets if we get more than 16 teams. Please see Tournament Documents to fill-out your forms and submit them.

This is the 18th annual 'Tin-Can' Rally. It is called that because we are raising funds for the Governor's Food Drive to help feed the hungry in Oregon. All proceeds go towards a 'pool', in which teams select which food bank their percentage goes towards. For example, the top 4 teams get to choose where the majority of the tournament 'pooled' proceeds go (e.g. food bank of their choice). Typically 90% of the proceeds are split between the top 4 teams. An example of this breakdown is 1st place = 35%, 2nd place = 25%, 3rd place = 20%, and 4th place = 10%. The remaining 10% is divided equally amongst the other teams.

Practice Information

The Judson Middle School external gym is available on Sunday evenings from 6 - 8 PM. Cost is $1.00. There is a $1.00 Honor System payment for each Sunday played with all the funds going to the Tin Can Rally in support of the Food Drive.

Contact Lloyd Bledsoe at Lloyd's email, if you have any questions.
