Tournaments @ Moda Center
Sunday October 27th (2024) 7pm (done by 8pm) (meet at fountain 630pm)
Format: four adult basketball teams will play against each other 1 game apiece; you will play 3 different games vs three other teams (all 15-minute games) (two of your games will be half court and one of your games will be full court).
Individuals teams (that we form) will have this # of players: 6 players
Photos: photos cannot occur AFTER the event (Blazers need us out- at 8pm sharp to setup for that night's game); if you want photos you have to take them during our time.
Bringing friends/family to watch: try not to bring too many please- but yes you can. If they do not walk in 630pm they will NOT be let in. That said, all photos have to occur during the game and nothing but departing occurs after the game (this is very important to the Blazers)- once final horn goes off in the game, you and any family you brought has to leave...
Referee: there will be 1 referee per game (possibly 2 referees). Free throws: there will be 1 free throw per shooting foul, worth 2 points (so we maximize your playing time).
Cost for this event: $67 per player (or 7x that- if you want to enter your full team).
How to register/pay: text Mikal Duilio 503-380-4539 saying 'Id like to play at Moda' and then pay; once you pay, you have a spot. Pay 1 of these 6 ways: 1) Cashapp- $Mikalduilio or 2) Venmo- @mikalduilio 3) PayPal at office@portlandbasketball.com 4) Zelle at 503-380-4539 or 5) Pay by debit card or credit card by going to our web PortlandBasketball (this web) and click the button on the main page called 'Make Payment' or 6) if you have paid by credit card on our web recently, you can text us saying 'hit my card'.
What you need to know 'day of': please meet at the main entrance fountain before or by 6:30pm. An employee of the Moda Center will meet all the players and our supervisors/referees Mike Richards and Greg Richardson and Robert Bartow- will walk us in to the Moda at 6:35pm (on the minute). You cannot be late. It is best to come dressed in sweats w/ shorts underneath or use a regular bathroom to change in; you see, we only have 1 hour to fit this entire event in, so we want to start right on time.
Parking for when we play AFTER a Blazers game like today Oct 27th: you will need to get 'regular' street parking (because the Moda will be chaotic bc they have a game today and staff will not know what we are talking about if we try to park IN their building for free). Restated- do not try to park in the official parking areas of the arena bc of the post game chaos; restated- park up the block(s)- find street parking somewhere- and walk to Moda. Walk to the 'main entrance fountain', where we get let in at 630pm.
Parking for when we play BEFORE a Blazers game (other years): you can park for free at/in the Moda Center parking lot called Garden Garage; this is the one on 'N Winning Way street' connected to the north side of the actual Moda building. Tell the person you run into (when parking) that you are there for an event that lasts 1hour (they sort of need to know that) and you were told it is free parking.
Schedule (see the times below): Each game is 15 minutes long (running time); it is important that we switch courts immediately, to maximize our playing time
