About $12 Tournaments |
About the different prices: you will see $6 game (this game has no referees but there is a supervisor and uniforms provided- and 56 minutes of playing time). You will also see the $10 game (league games with 7 players on a team)- and in fact- once in a while we charge $9 because the game might be in an odd time (9:30pm) or odd place. And finally you will see $12 price for 'the $12 Tournament'- a '4-team round-robin tournament' where you will play three 32-minute games (96 minutes of playing time over two hours basically); the $12 tournament is not refereed, this tournament is a cooperative situation (no referees, like the $6 game)- so come to this ready to cooperate and have fun, uniforms are provided and a court supervisor is provided who makes sure everyone subs equally.
Why was the ‘Pick to Play’ program created by PortlandBasketball.com? Pick to Play was created so that players who only have themselves or one or two buddies- can still play in our league; in fact, you can play up to 7 days per week! Pick to Play was created -also- so that league players going 1 time per week could jump in a 2nd run per week.
How does Pick to Play work? Find a time that works for you from the above 7 days worth of options (first, register your name), submit your name- and show up.
How do you pay? Payment is by credit card or debit card only; call or email your card information (one time only) to Jesse at PortlandBasketball.com or (ph) 503-493-9335; once you have your payment information submitted, you are set to register for any game, any time you want. Note that once you are committed to a game, you will be charged unless you email to cancel 24 full hours in advance.
Why should you play ‘Pick to Play? ’you do not have to organize and collect from seven players to get your game on… if you and a buddy want in, sign up- and show up, same day even. This is also an opportunity for players who have been out of the game for a while- to get back in shape with as many games per week as you would want.
What is the quality of the games? The courts and the playing time are both A+. We jump ball each game and we have uniforms per game so the game is solid (even the ones without referees). Pick-to-Play may not be as good as playing with your own real team of course- but it is a decent run and typically a great workout. A good description of the quality of the games is described in the above video (far right).
