Welcome to the Gem City Showdown!

July 13, 14 and 15, 2012

Come join us for a final ASA tournament of the season. Plus, its an ASA Qualifier. What could be better! In the heart of Dayton, Ohio we offer every team a 6 game guarantee. All teams will get 5 games of pool play. Then the top half of each pool will go into a Platinum Single Elimination Bracket. The lower half will go into a separate Gold Single Elimination Bracket. The brackets will not play each other. This means even the bottom half of the pool has a chance for a championship. We look forward to you joining us.
