The Basketball Tournament to Be Played in Modified Format Due to COVID-19

The Basketball Tournament is still on for 2020, but it will be played in a modified format due to COVID-19.

As announced in a news release on Wednesday, this year's TBT will feature 24 teams and will consist of 23 games played over 10 days, all in a single location.

All participants will be tested for COVID-19 upon arrival at the location, which has not yet been announced, and will be quarantined for the duration of the tournament. Participants will be tested again after a quarantine period and screened regularly for symptoms, and any positive test will result in the removal of that participant's team from the tournament.
