Northwest Georgia Rising Stars Elite is set to host its biggest adult basketball tournament this summer at the Summerville Recreation Center.

The tournament, organized by Jay Shropshire, will take place on four Saturdays — July 11, July 18, July 25, and August 1. Teams will compete in a double-elimination format.

Entry fees are set at $500 per team, with games featuring two 18-minute halves and a running clock except during the final two minutes. The tournament is open to players age 18 and older.

Organizers say all participants must sign a waiver, and a $3,000 prize will be awarded to the winning team. Admission for spectators will be $5 for adults and $2 for children, with concessions available onsite.

Teams interested in participating must submit entry fees by June 30 to secure a spot, as only 10 teams will be accepted.

For additional information or registration details, organizers say interested teams can contact Jay Shropshire directly.
