Is your local social league still playing?

All of my sons' games in Sydney (u14) have been knocked on the head. I see most associations have decided to pull up stumps for the moment.

Training is still on, but I can't see that lasting.

Still going at my association in WA even though they shut down on the weekend. Strange decision but I'm playing seniors tonight. My son had games at a different association on the weekend. Basketball WA should advise all associations to either shut down or stay open, not leave it up to the individual associations.

What are the tournaments / carnivals Australia wide for adult basketball teams and how do they rate grading wise against each other?

We annually attend:
* Warrnambool Tournament - Australia day weekend, Big V Div 1 standard in A grade, ?$1,500? prize
* Ballarat Tournament - Labour day weekend, Big V Div 2 standard in A grade, ?$500? prize
* Albury Tournament - November, domestic A grade standard compared to melbourne MSAC
* Corporate games - November, domestic B grade standard compared to melbourne MSAC

and last year, a few of us attended:
* Jacaranda Carnival - October, domestic B grade standard compared to melbourne MSAC

in the past, our club has also attended:
* Portland tournament - Queens birthday weekend, domestic B grade standard compared to Melbourne MSAC with some Warrnambool Big V players (I'm not sure if this tournament still runs)

We want to add another option to our event calendar:

and a few of us might consider an interstate trip if there are really high quality tournaments elsewhere.
