Why programs make the drive

Built for teams that travel

Three games, guaranteed

Every team plays a minimum of three games across Saturday and Sunday. Nobody drives four hours to play twice and go home.

Two gyms, ten minutes apart

All four courts sit on the same side of Flint — Carman-Ainsworth High School and Middle School. No cross-town scrambles between games, and one hotel corridor off I-69 and US-23.

Fifteen years of running it

Hosted by Flint’s Finest Basketball Club, a 501(c)(3) founded in 2008. Exposure Certified, with brackets, schedules and live scores on the Exposure Events app all weekend.

The field

Eleven divisions

Grade-based divisions with age equivalents. Teams play up if their division doesn’t fill — we’ll call you before we move anyone.

Before you register

Coaches ask us this

When does registration close?: April 7, 2027 — or sooner if the 100-team field fills first. Divisions close individually as they reach capacity, so early entries hold their spot.
Do we have to pay when we register?: No. Payment is optional at registration — submit your team now and pay before the event. Your multi-team rate is applied based on the total number of teams your program enters.
How do we actually register?: Through Exposure Events, our tournament platform. You’ll pick a division, enter your team and coach information, and you’re in. Roster can be added later. Start your registration here.
Where do we find schedules and scores?: On the Exposure Events app and the event page. Brackets, pool play, schedules and live scores post there through the weekend.
Who do we talk to?: Jerome Adams, tournament director — 810-447-0440 or jadams@flintsfinestbasketball.org.
