The Basketball Tournament has become one of the world's most prominent open-application tournaments. Teams from all over the world travel to the states to compete in the open field tournament that holds a grand prize of 1 million dollars to split amongst each other.

The tournament has been around since 2014 and has as many as 97 teams and as few as 24 teams in one year but most often have a 64-team field. The teams are put together by general managers and are mostly designed by the college programs that the players competed for during their school days. This year, we are supposed to see a team representing Maize and Blue.
