Registration is now open! The 2022 Bhakta Classic South Asian Basketball Tournament will be held on the weekend of October 15-16. We will be hosting the event at the brand new Legacy Sports complex - Bell Bank Park.
Now in its 11th year, our tourney is open to all players of South Asian descent (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, and Nepali origin). Over the past decade, we've had squads from all over the U.S. and Canada take part in our event. Each year, our participation list has grown, and we hope to have an even bigger turnout this year.
There will be two divisions. The Rec Division is geared for players who play at an intermediate level. Teams in this division will be competing for trophies and bragging rights. We also have an Elite Division for teams competing at a more advanced level (semi-pro/college). Teams in this division will be battling it out for a cash prize (TBD).
Each team will play three preliminary round games on Saturday to determine seeding for the playoffs. Playoffs will take place on Sunday, and will be single elimination knockout. All participants in this year's tournament will receive premium jerseys contributed by our sponsors.
You can find the entry form along with the rules under the Docs section of our website. If you have any questions about our tournament or are looking to sponsor our event, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can contact Kush Bhakta by phone/text: 928-916-7072 or by email: bhaktatournament@gmail.com. Hope to see y'all there!
