tournament calendar for Dec 1-5

We've already posted separate articles on the two exhibition events for this week, the Reebok Compton Tip-off Classic, and the Glendora Triple Crown, so we haven't included them in the grid below. We've also already posted the Pool Play schedules for the Cerritos-Gahr Tournament, so we won't do that again. Hopefully we'll be able to make it out to some of these tournaments during the week, but don't count on it.

So here's the deal: We're going to ask anyone who attends any of these games to let us know either by posting it on the message board or via e-mail (there are links all over the site for e-mail, including one below on this page) what's happening in the standings, or at least how your favorite team is doing. Of course, we'll be in touch with the coaches (at least some of them) and we will try to keep current on these tournaments, but we make no guarantees.

Here's the list for the week of the ones we know about, there are probably dozens more that we are not aware of, but what else is new?

Whew. And that's just for next week. The same thing happens all over again, with different events, different teams, and different venues. But it just keeps right on through the entire month of December with only two days, Christmas and New Year's, (the latter is technically not in the month of December for those who haven't figured that out yet, but what the heck, it's a day off). And considering that the colleges are doing the same thing, December almost rivals the July open evaluation period with the number of games played.
