AND1, in conjunction with IMG, announced the first six sites to host
open tryouts for the 2013 AND1 Summer Remix Basketball Tournament. The
inaugural event will be a 12-team, $100,000, winner-take-all tournament
to be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Liacouras Center on the
campus of Temple University over Labor Day Weekend (August 29 –
September 1). The “Open Run” tryouts will give anyone the chance to
participate in the event, with the best eight players from all of the
tryouts forming a free agent team with direct entry into the tournament.
“Our brand has been built on the idea of free expression on the
basketball court, and through these ‘Open Run’ tryouts we will give the
best players an opportunity to join us for the ultimate prize later this
summer in Philadelphia,” said AND1 marketing director Maurice Levy.
“AND1 has always been a brand of opportunity for the streetballer, and
we think this summer we will help give a chance to a new legion of
creative, athletic and exciting new faces in the sport.”
The six new cities and sites, in addition last Saturday’s tryout at the Dunlevy Milbank Center in New York will include:
June 13 – Morris Brown Gym (Atlanta Gym 7PM-10PM) Walnut St NW, Atlanta, GA
June 14 – Lions Park Community Center (Raleigh, NC 6PM-9PM) 516 Dennis Avenue, Raleigh, NC
