Our standards

We will do our best to give you and your team an enjoyable yet competitive experience. We will be transparent with you about the competition we have to offer at each tournament. If we believe we cannot provide you with quality competition, we will communicate with you and work to find a solution that meets your team’s needs. We expect that you are honest about the competitive level of your team.

Why choose us

Our mission at TriState Tournaments is to provide a great experience for you and your players. We try to set up the brackets and game schedules to produce as many close games as possible. We, as coaches, know that blowouts do very little to help either team. Our goal is for all games to finish in single digits with an overtime or two.

We hire a staff who will do their job professionally to help you have a positive tournament experience.

Officials are often a source of concern among coaches, players and sports fans. Not all officials are created equal but we work very hard on partnering, mentoring and training officials to provide the best officials possible.

Ultimately, we would like to create an experience for you that is positive and productive.
