The Decatur Shootout will expand from a field of 12 teams to 16 if they can get one more major team to commit. So Cal’s own, Team Rainey travelled to the tournament last year and came away with the consolation bracket title. Here is the latest from Doug Gray, Decatur Sports Foundation president:
The 2005 Decatur ShootOut is looking for one more men’s major team to participate in this year’s ShootOut June 17th – 19th in Decatur, IL at the Borg Warner Sports Complex. We have a very strong field of 12 teams set but also have 3 very interested teams on waiting list and have decided that if we can get one additional team to commit we will expand the field to 16. Tournament has cash payouts to top finishers, pool play with top 4 advancing to championship play and finishers 5-8 advance to consolation playoff, Entry fee $500, all teams should expect to play Friday night. Interested teams should contact us immediately as we would like to have scheduling information out very soon.
