Welcome to the Garden Classic 2024!

Below are some community guidelines as well as the scheduled for this year’s tourney.

Community Guidelines

• Brotherhood and basketball over all – We’re here to have fun. Yes, let’s compete and have a great run but remember, we’re all Gardenites.
• What is called is what goes – In case of disagreement, shoot for ball. Do your best to keep challenges to a minimum.
• Out of bounds – Sides are in (except if the ball hits the cage), baseline (white line) is out of bounds as well as half-court as there will be games on both sides for most of the day.
• 3 pointers – We’ll use the city lines (white line). Yes, they are closer but in case of a game-winning bucket, it will be clearer to call it a 2 or a 1.
• All teams are guaranteed 6 games (5 round robin games and at least 1 playoffs game).
• To celebrate another season of brotherhood and hoops, we want to recognize the person that best embodies the spirit of Garden on and off the court. Vote for Garden MVP!
